<p>I have a chance to volunteer at a history museum. I am applying as a history major this fall to pretty much every UC. For the transfer prompt it says to talk about any expierence ive had in the field. I dony have any prior expierence. So i signed up to volunteer but im nervous im taking on too much i work part time will be taking 12 units this fall and spring and im married. So idk if i should do it after all. Would it benefit my application if i do? Could i do without it? I have a 3.8 and will have all pre reqs done by spring</p>
<p>I think you should volunteer. The UCs expect experience in your major because you are a transfer student and if you don’t have that, volunteering is the way to go. What you did as a volunteer also makes for a great personal statement.</p>
<p>Since you are working, married, and full-time student, I would suggest volunteering only for a few hours a week. But if you feel like you can do more, go for it.</p>
<p>Just make sure you maintain that GPA for fall and do not fail any courses in the spring.</p>
<p>just explain in your app your situation and they will understand</p>
<p>Yah it helps but I haven’t done any volunteer work since my sophomore year of HS and still got accepted</p>
