[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL in another area, does alumni interviews, and was mildly complaining that because most schools require service hours these days, she can never tell if volunteer work is a genuine interest or a box to be ticked. I realize no one takes her interviews too seriously, but I'm sure admissions office have noticed the same. I certainly don't believe anyone's getting the edge because their hour count is MCPS certified. Something else would have to make the service work look significant.[/quote] Actually, if its not certified, you cannot count it as "official" and to try and sell an application to any college on say 500 service hours with no evidence of such service, just makes the applicant look like a bullshitter. What shows genuine interest is a pattern, in service hours and in other EC aspects of the applicant's existence. That's not rocket science you know, either.[/quote]
