ubccommutergirl Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I would say my activity descriptions and clarification of hours were as specific as could be in my actual application. A few days ago, Admissions contacted me asking me to provide a more detailed breakdown and explanation of my specific role, hours, dates, and positions in one of my activities. The verifier for this specific activity was also contacted before this, and they had already said 'yes' to the verification. Has anyone gotten such an email?

I've heard of cases of this happening before. They just want some more information for whatever reason. Either the numbers don't add up on paper or something looks off. I wouldn't take it as a bad thing, just an activity that the file reviewer needed more information about to properly evaluate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsAaronSamuels Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Don't worry about it. Happened to me and was accepted. Just be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanutButter1 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Happened to me today. I was pretty specific too, or so I thought. Weird because I’ve never been contacted in my previous four apps. Oh well hopefully it’s nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Med&Coffee Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 yep, never happened to me before but happened twice this cycle already and by different people (though my application is exactly the same from last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiynadoll Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Apparently, I was told that sometimes they are just surprised you were able to squeeze so many activities into one big time block, OR they misunderstood what certain entries were. For example I had 3 activities going on at once + a part time job so it looked like I was doing more than 24 hours a day, but in reality they were staggered. One of those activities also ended summer 2017 and another activity started in its place but in my verification request they made it sound like I did everything all at once. I just sent back a weekly schedule-ish thing. Like "Monday AM - Activity 1", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast_Layne Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yeah I was asked for clarification too because I held two different positions in a club, one after the other, so they wanted to ask how long I was in each position for! So I don't think asking for clarification is a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
