Work/Volunteer Experience a necessity?

<p>So basically, I didn’t have anything to put on this section of the UC App - i was pretty busy throughout high school, and had a challenging courseload, including some classes over summer… will the addcom notice this or is my app now pretty much in trouble?</p>

<p>(I did have stuff for all the other E.C. parts though, just not these two)</p>

<p>It might help a little if you did, but I really doubt it's gonna be the deciding factor in admissions decisions. So I wouldn't worry about it.</p>

<p>Well, no point in worrying about it now. If you had a strong application (good GPA and SATs) as a result of being too busy to do volunteering, then it shouldn't hurt you, but if that wasn't the case, then not having one of those minor things that racks up points might be a cause for concern.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks</p>

<p>It's not a necessity.</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I didn't have anything on there either.</p>
