<p>I have a question about the UC- application in general. When I typed in the name of the school I attended (the one before my present high school from which i'll graduate), it gave me the names of a bunch of matches. None of the names matched, and it said in that case pick "none of the above". But there was no place to click that button. Any advice?</p>

<p>Plus, for activity hours, are we supposed to include prep time for the activity? (for example, lets say I am on my school's sciOly team. Do my hours include prep time (a LOT), or just the time in meetings (like an hour a week)). Please let me know. And also, if an activity has once in a month meetings but you do stuff outside of that meeting (events) can you still put it as 4 weeks/month and thus 36 weeks/yr?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hooray for people submitting their app last minute!</p>

<p>It’s ok to stretch the truth.</p>

<p>no- that’s NOT what I meant. I was asking whether if it’s a competitive activity you include preparation time INDIVIDUALLY for the competition or not. UC applications are not very clear on this matter. For example, on one of my activities, while we only have meetings once a month, there’s an 8-hr or so event once in a month as well, usually. So I was wondering how i would average that in (as 9 hrs/week with 1 week/month, or as 9/4 = 2.25 hrs/week for 4 weeks/month since the meetings and events are not necessarily on the same week).
Whatever. I’ll just explain it in the description section.</p>

<p>My college adviser told me to put as many hours as you can. Prep hours, meetings, etc!
you want as much as you possibly can</p>
