There are enough fake charities and social service kids out there.  Why would you want to exacerbate that?  When did college become about social justice showmanship vs a place where smart kids can go to get an education? [/quote]

So sick of kids volunteering only to pad the resume.  Race to nowhere.[/quote]

Worse than that, it is a luxury of the rich/upper middle class.  I know someone that donated a lot of money to a non-profit so his child could get a prestigious sounding internship.  My I get why the Non-profit did it: money and free work.  But -- the colleges do not know about the donation.[/quote]

Yes they do.  Do you think these admissions officers are idiots?  They would not know of a specific donation but they are well aware of the opportunities for fancy internships afforded wealthy students.

That said.  THere is ample community service that can be sought out,  and performed with distinction by kids from average families.  [/quote]
