<p>Volunteering is not a requirement to be admitted to the UC.</p>

<p>You can get in with any EC that you have passion in it (sport, music, band, academic competition, research,…). They need to be concrete.</p>

<p>Oh wow!!! Thanks so much! So I could put research and orchestra! Yay!!! </p>

<p>Also, do u have to fill out all those boxes they give u in the application? Like it asks for volunteering and they have like 5 boxes, is it ok to leave some blank?</p>

<p>Yes, you can leave blanks if you have nothing to put there.</p>
