Question about the application.

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I have a few questions about employment and ec on the applications (school + common). Well, for one, I kinda lack (quite a bit) in the ec field, so I'm a bit desperate lol. I've taken some college classes at a local community college is it all right to list that under ecs? Also when doing the school application when the school asks if I've ever taken courses at college should I list those? Do internships (non-paid) count as well?</p>

<p>And also about employment. I've done quite a number of hours at my uncle's friend's convenient store over the summers of 06/07...while I do get paid, it's kind of an under-the-table kinda job. Should I list that under employment?</p>

<p>One more thing, this is kinda an "unethical" and iffy lol. Theoretically (not saying I will ;)) list some clubs that I haven't joined under ecs, would the colleges actually check to see if I've joined them? Because I don't see how they would check...I mean it's ran by students so what are they going to do like call them or something?</p>

<p>Ok that's it for now, thanks!</p>

<p>If you have taken courses at a community college you should list them under courses you've taken at a college. Internships count as extracurricular, since it's something you do outside of school. Getting paid for working at a store counts as work. If you don't plan to join a club in senior year, don't say that you plan on joining.</p>

<p>^ I'm not really into clubs and stuff (not that I'm antisocial), but is it all right if I join like 2 clubs and go check it out like 2-3 times throughout the year and thats it? Will I still get "credit" for joining that club and would I be able to put it on my transcript?</p>

<p>Like what my final question is: will colleges strictly look into what you put down and get confirmation that you actually did it for so and so hours?</p>
