[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They ask because they don't want a class of entitled brats who just take, take, take. Colleges want a well rounded class of kids, who are going to give back to their community, and eventually, to the college as an alumni[/quote] Nice theory. I bet less that a fraction of 1% of the kids that did community service in HS do anything of that sort in college. Most of them are entitled brats that did what their mommy lined up for community service just to check a box on the college app. [/quote] Agree. Would add that colleges do not value usual community service that mommy lined up. It is very obvious when a kid does something organically and these kids are more valued. [/quote] Agree with this, but would add that a kid with absolutely no service on their resume is going to be at a disadvantage against a kid whose mom lined up their service projects. So best to do something than nothing.[/quote]
