<p>I'm getting ready to submit my app for UCSD Winter 2010. (The deadline is fast approaching!) Today I went to my transfer center to get some advice for my app. The guy that helped me said that my "Activities and Awards" section looks awfully empty. To be honest, I don't really do any "official" extracurricular activities, except one job that I had a couple years ago during CC. The transfer guy then told me that I should think back to high school and put some of those extracurricular activities on there. Is that really necessary? That was about 5 years ago for me, I'm not even sure I can remember the extracurricular activities I did!</p>
<p>I'm also having another "high school" app problem. I went to 3 or 4 different high schools, and I can't even correctly remember the dates for each one attended. It even took me 5 years to finish high school, do I need to explain that? </p>
<p>I went to CC for a reason, because i'm not all too proud of my high school record. How much do the UCs look into all the high school info on the app?</p>
<p>Thanks for any feedback :)</p>
