Hey i was kinda worried because i had numerous questions about the UC app and then i found this site! I hope it works out…
well here are my questions. Last summer I completed an internship at Cal State LA with a professor . I basically just did a project and presented it, etc… How can I list that on the UC application? Would that be considered extracurricular or work experience? I know work experience is like only PAID work, but I don’t know if my internship was really extracurricular…or was it?
Another question is about a national student leadership conference that i attended…it was called “National Student Leadership Conference on Medicine and Healthcare” Is that considered a educational preparation program? or is that also extracurricular?
<p>UC is is weird. For EC, you put how many weeks each year, which seems to imply year round stuff.</p>
<p>I think you internship was EC. I think NSLC is EC as well.</p>
<p>The killer on UC is they only allow for 5 EC's. My dd has 6 major ones, so she's putting a year long fundraising chair position under Comm Svc instead of EC. Otherwise she'd have to drop a varsity sport off EC. The point is, you might want to fudge on these categories if you max out in the category.</p>
<p>We still haven't figured out how to put an overseas language immersion month.</p>
<p>But, is it possible to list my internship under work experience and then in the description I write that it was a non-paid job/internship that I completed?</p>
<p>hmmm i have one more question guys..please help out :( </p>
<p>over the summer i did a Leadership Training (dale carneigie , excuse the spelling) does that count as EC along with the national student leadership conference?</p>
