UC Application Question

<p>theres a section dedicated to Honors/Awards, space for 5 entries. so.. my question is what kinda awards or honors are you all putting down. cause i cant recall getting anything..</p>

<p>also, does it look bad if u dont fill all 5 spaces?</p>

<p>i don't have any good awards, so i put down lame stuff like "honour roll, GPA of 4.0 throughout one semester"
which is really stupid, because over 10% of the grade has this, and due to my lack of awards and many other important factors, i was rejected :(</p>

<p>Deans list, honors societies, special awards for ECs or something- stuff like that. And no, it won't destroy your chances if you don't fill in all of the spaces. Remember that UC transfer admissions work VERY differently from freshman admissions. While your awards will be noted or considered, they will not decide your fate (except maybe for rare occasions, like major national awards or something). For transfers they care much, much more about gpa and course completion than if you got a couple of awards.</p>

<p>Are u doing the online application?</p>

<p>I tried to access it yesterday, but it said it will only be available on Mon, Oct 3.</p>

<p>yea, online.. im filling it out on paper first tho</p>

<p>id say go for it</p>
