How important are extracurriculars?

<p>The application seems incredibly brief regarding extracurriculars… they ask if you are a national merit finalist/valedictorian then in one question ask how much community service+ECs you do per week. They don’t even give you the chance to mention what your ECs are. Do they check to verify your numbers…Or before I ask that, do they even care??</p>

<p>:( i need my EC's</p>

<p>With the Cal Poly application, I am 100% sure its all computerized. Computer scores the application, meet a certain score and your in. The EC part I'm sure makes a small score in the application. GPA/SAT is a big part, but hey if your close to being accepted or rejected, those ECs could make a difference.</p>

<p>dude.. EC's dont mean sht. don't even worry about it. as you said, there isnt even a spot to put in ECs</p>
