<p>On the UC application, are extracurriculars and volunteer work/community service listed separately or together? ...Most of my ECs are volunteer work, and if they're listed separately then I'll have like no ECs... :/</p>
<p>bump, anyone?</p>
<p>For any application they are the same thing, including the UC app.</p>
<p>How is volunteer work not an extracurricular? The definition of extracurricular is anything outside of classwork.</p>
<p>There are 3 categories for activities on the UC App, grouped as follows:</p>
<p>-Extracurricular </p>
<p>-Community Service</p>
<p>-Work Experience (Paid)</p>
<p>You get 5 spots for each. Long-term hobbies could count as an EC as well and there is some flexibility in where you list service-oriented clubs, like Red Cross, Key, Leo, etc.</p>
<p>@sunbite Thank you so much, that’s exactly what I wanted to know. So do you think it’s better to list school service clubs under community service or extracurricular?</p>
<p>Welcome! It depends on what else you have on your resume. If you don’t have a lot of outside of school volunteering, then yes you can list school service clubs. You should balance out the categories as much as possible.</p>
<p>Oops just the first post again. In OP’s case, probably better to list school service clubs under extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>Alright 
It seems like a lot of my extracurriculars could go into either one. I am also Secretary of a club that volunteers for Special Olympics. I think I will probably put that one in the extracurricular section since I have a leadership position. Thanks for your help :D</p>
