<p>Do universities verify their applicants ECs? Would it be a problem if I estimate hours of community services or internships?</p>
<p>Some do. UC’s ask a percentage of applicants to validate one or more EC’s.</p>
<p>It’s fine to estimate hours as long as the estimate is within reason.</p>
<p>What about those that we apply to through Common App?Do they require certificates?Plus, I don’t live in America so it would be hard for them to verify my ECs.</p>
<p>No you don’t send anything in unless they ask you.</p>
<p>@skieurope it is not necessarily an EC. It can be your transcript from a HS, transcript from a college, award, EC, or even address haha. It is just one thing on your App. If u cannot verify it, they will choose another thing</p>
<p>Colleges take your word for your ECs unless you say something crazy and impressive. They might (like the UC’s) ask you to prove an EC.</p>
