<p>Just wondering, UIUC asks for contact information when listing your activities. Do they really call/email? :/</p>
<p>If they are suspicious of you, they will call or e-mail. For most people, they do not call or e-mail. So, if you put something very good that could be unbelievable, expect a call. And certainly don't lie, because you never know. If they do call and find out either the number is not the person who you said it was or that you were not in the activity, you are in trouble.</p>
<p>If you're applying for Campus Honors, though, the Campus Honors people often do.</p>
<p>what is that whole honors program? I am unfamiliar with it. Is it applicable to anyone who applies for it? (like is it only for certain majors?)</p>
<p>Nope, you can do it for any major, I think. I got accepted into the James Scholars program, and I applied to General Curriculum (a.k.a. undecided).</p>
