<p>Hey everyone,
I have done a couple of ECs, member of an engineering club, volunteered on a presidential campaign ...work. Do I need to show proof of these when I apply to UCLA? I will be applying in July for winter or spring 2009. Anyone with firsthand knowledge would be really helpful. It seems like it would be easy for other people who haven't done anything to just make stuff up, although I imagine most people would not have the nerve to do so.</p>
<p>Well if you read the Haas thread you'll see that you don't provide proof of your ECs but they may investigate if they are suspicious of you. For work experience, I'm not exactly sure. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>They UC application randomly selects 10% of its applicants and makes them provide proof of everything on their application. If you don't provide proof, your application is withdrawn.</p>
<p>When will the 10% be notified that they will have to provide proof? Also, some of my ECs are from high school, do you think they would make me go back that far? Or just CC</p>
<p>"They UC application randomly selects 10% of its applicants and makes them provide proof of everything on their application. If you don't provide proof, your application is withdrawn." pretty interesting information, but I haven't heard any of my friend had to do this (I think I have more than 100 friends apply to UCs this year, not to mention about last 2 years).</p>
<p>However, if you apply to really competitive major and your record is really impressive (not all applicants though), it may be possible that they will check your record. (the chance is still not high). Cause it's just really hard to check, but be careful, it doesn't mean you can overstate everything. Even they don't check it, if the admission officers have reason to suspect what you have stated, you may be in risk.</p>
<p>the wording "your application will be withdrawn" sounds like you already would have had to provide the proof. At this point, wouldn't it say that your admission would be withdrawn? Not application? What a hassle that would be if they made us do that</p>
<p>lol. simple solution. don't lie. you get caught one way or another.</p>
<p>10%? sounds waaaaaaaaay too high.
anyone on here been randomly selected to "prove" their ECs?</p>
<p>A friend of mine was asked to provide some proof of clubs and volunteer work that she had. Not everything from her application was asked about..mostly clubs and volunteer work/internship</p>
<p>She was accepted to Cal as a Neuroscience major</p>
<p>I emailed UCLA and got this response: "Unless you have been specifically requested to do so you do not need to send in documentation of your extracurricular activities." So I guess if you were one of those people, you'd already know.</p>
