<p>Where’d you get those statistics? I’m nearly certain that your UC prompt essay does not weigh as heavily as 35%. On topic, it’s too late now to get a job/work exp. Applications are submitted @ fall and the only thing you can update is your grades @ spring. So if you did get something for spring, it wouldn’t be on your app. I doubt it would matter too much anyways if everything else on your app is solid.</p>
