Do UC's verify your Extracurricular activities?

<p>I was looking at my friend's application and it kind of seems like he tweaked the hours a bit. =D Maybe that's how he got into UC San Diego. I'm wondering if UC's verify that you actually did the activity/club/sport.</p>

<p>I think it's random. I don't know of anyone at school who they've asked, but people on CC have been asked.</p>

<p>yeah, UC's verify your EC's, but they do it randomly.</p>

<p>Oh ok. Do they also verify the amount of time you said you did it? like the hours per week and weeks per year</p>

<p>If you are one of the few whose ECs are checked, they will ask to verify hours, yes.</p>

<p>^ Yes, I can confirm it actually happened to us this year. My son had to fill out a form from the UC office detailing the hours and nature of his community service activities, and then have that form signed by the school principal.</p>
