[quote=Anonymous]My kid applied to 15 colleges last year including MIT, Stanford and ivies. No one asked about community service per se, but MIT needed a short essay asking about something the kid had done to better their community — they specifically said it could be helping a friend or family member. Basically do something that IMPACTS someone — or rather, be able to think and talk about various things done. A lot of schools had a community essay which is different from community service essay. This essay has to do with a group that the kid considers themselves a part of. My kid wrote about trying to help a group of friends — the effort FAILED! And what my kid did as a result to help them more. Most people write about the usual clubs (not really interesting); the ones who bring a different perspective are valued. [/quote]
