[quote=Anonymous]Our child graduated from MCPS in 2022 with 1500 + SSL hours. No doubt in my mind that those hours, along with 4 years of high school leadership activities, is what got child accepted to UMD. Many classmates with higher GPAs and more AP classes were rejected. Universities (even huge ones like Maryland) need students who will participate in campus life. A high number of SSL hours shows commitment to involvement in one’s community. It matters. We require all our children to complete at least enough SSL hours to earn the “purple tassel”. Colleges are so wildly competitive these days, strong academics just are not enough. [/quote]
