please help me with my UC essay!

Applying to College
1

Hi,

I’m working on my UC essays and I’m completely blank on the first question “How have you taken advantage of the educational opportunities you have had to prepare for college?”

The only thing I can think of to say about me is challenging myself with ap/honors classes. I know I shouldn’t talk about stuff that they can just get off my transcript, but I really haven’t done anything “educational” outside of schoolwork. Anyone who’s had this problem before or has any suggestions for me I would really appreciate your help!

THANKS!!!

<p>Taking Ap/honors classes IS preparing for college.
Have you been active in any afterschool clubs that focus on a particular interest?
What did you do in summers? Did you atten any summer programs? Did you travel, which could have increased your interest in language/history?</p>
