being completely honest, I donāt think mine were anything special. I wasnāt a leader for like an organization/club, I didnāt win awards, and didnāt play any sports so I just talked about hobbies/stuff I was passionate aboutā¦ IN MY DEFENSE THOUGH, I went to a small school with no sports team and meh clubs that didnāt really fit me and there wasnt really any budget for the clubs they did have
- Work for 2 years
- Bboying ~2 years
- Bass guitar ~2 years
- Gym ~1.5 years
- Volunteer work ~4 years (nothing like super special)
- Crocheting/sewing
im not anything special to be completely honest
what would you do then if you get no housing?
apartment I guess, Im going to call them just to make sure though
dang best of luck then
Please update us here after you talk with them. Thanks! BTW, UCI accept you for 1st major and my daughter has same 2nd major as you, Hopefully that comes to her soonā¦
Office is closed right now 
I hope your daughter gets in too
Congrats man!! 
Iāve also been following this thread incessantly lol. iāve been waitlisted as an English major and I havenāt heard anything about English from anyone. still crossing my fingers, hopefully it comes soon :))

this just reminded me let me add on to my stats:
I ACTUALLY DID START A BREAKDANCING CLUB MY JUNIOR YEAR!! i forgot though because i didnt continue it into my senior year (injury)
i actually have NO CLUE how to calculate my gpa i just assumed its a 4.0 because I have all Aās, I donāt know if its inflated becaused I took a ton of random college classes that do not go towards my credits (dont think it would go over a 4.0 because my school doesnt offer AP or honors)
for my volunteer work: did accounting for a food bank and like the boring spreadsheet stuff but I ALSO worked at my animal shelter
