[quote=Anonymous]Since everyone is required to have SSL hours at my children's large public school, community service has no meaning anymore - you would need to devote hundreds more hours than the others to stand out. My son listed all the hours he worked as a dog shelter volunteer, and I think nobody cared, at all. The truth is that anything that's not independently verified by a third party can be fabricated, so I'm not sure colleges consider random extra-curriculars seriously. It may be more useful to belong to recognizable organizations, and maybe have a letter of recommendation to prove what you've achieved there, than to simply list all the stuff you did on your own.
