<p>has any one attended the summer architecture workshop? does this help you get admitted?</p>
<p>The csu application actually doesn't let you specify volunteer work, employment, internships etc. It only asks you how many hours of such work you've done and how many of those hours are related to your major. This workshop would give you hours for both. So activities like this would make your application look better but they will not actually know that it was a workshop directly related to your major.</p>
