[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what happens if a Kid is not interested in community service. Who are we as adults to dictate that kids should serve the community for free and good colleges will only take such kids? Most adults I know are A-holes and we have a POTUS who is one. I think this is an example of the privileged class keeping others out. A single parent or parents without the knowledge of what is required will not know/not have the time to shlep the kids around to all these activities. In-state for my kid.[/quote] I hate this emphasis on volunteering. If what volunteers do were valuable they would be paid for it. I wonder how many admissions officers volunteer on a regular basis.[/quote] Harvard interviewer here. Raw total of volunteer hours is less important than people think. Volunteering is one (of many) ways to show leadership, initiative and creativity. Grinding away at it to accumulate a large total does no one any good.[/quote]
