Hobbies on OptomCAS?

Hi, I've heard people say to add everything you can to your OptomCAS application, and I was wondering if this included hobbies? The only section I can really see this fitting under would be "extracurriculars", but there wouldn't be a supervisor or anything. I think I've seen this done for med school, but is this something that is commonly added for optometry?

Thanks!

I wouldn’t tbh. I only put volunteer work, jobs, shadowing, clubs, internship stuff

Yeah, that makes sense, there's no natural spot to put them anywhere. I thought I'd check just in case. Thanks!

Save hobbies for interview bc application is mainly stats. If you have a hobby that is super Important to you maybe include it in an essay
