<p>@ joxy: You’re welcome :). As for EC’s and volunteering, the UC’s don’t even put that much weight on them, especially UCB. On the app you can/should list all of your volunteer work and EC’s from high school because it’s an option. As for your CCC extras, without any it probably doesn’t look great…maybe do something like join PTK (honors society). It costs like $75 to join, but literally you don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to, and it looks good on the app. You could also possibly do some last minute volunteer work (even like 50 hours would help). </p>
<p>However, I’ll be totally honest when I say that Berkeley really doesn’t care about EC’s and things like that unless you’re a sports all-star. At best general EC’s may slightly improve your chances. Overall though, it would be good to have something to show for, so I’d recommend joining a club or two and possibly getting in some volunteer hours! :)</p>
