academic enrichment prgms for UC app?

Applying to College
1

<p>I looked at the UC app and they seemed really inten on knowing specifically any programs that were meant for “academic enrichment” and “university study”. I don’t think I specially attended any kind of these programs.</p>

<p>what r some examples of such prgms?</p>

<p>would attending a 1 day research seminar(listen to prof and students present their findings) at X university count as such an experience?</p>

<p>What i think they mean is college classes or summer programs that were educational. It’s a good question- I am applying to UC schools and I attented a one day conference about modern genetics. I’m eager to see what others say.</p>

<p>The worksheet says:</p>

<p>List your participation in educational or academic preparation programs that are designed to help students prepare for university study. These programs may include academic enrichment programs sponsored by colleges/universities, research programs and study-abroad programs.</p>

<p>So I agree with taffyrooster that they are looking for specific actual programs. Like a CTY program would be an example. But you want to put your one day seminar somewhere, just to show your interest, so I guess that is as good a place as any. Hours = 6, Weeks = 1 I suppose.</p>
