<p>i, for one, thought my jr and senior year were really heavy with ECs (except for sports) and that colleges would think I did it just for them. i guess I sure tricked them! (lol!)</p>
<p>wait, so if u just list an organization that u did service in, how will the colleges believe u...are like all community service realted items on the transcript ever verified, or do the colleges just trust u??</p>
<p>i was kidding about tricking them. i never lied on my application.</p>
<p>however, i've been told that they're good at picking up liars.</p>
<p>yeah, don't... go overboard with volunteering unless you absolutely love it or make a huge difference</p>
<p>say you've been at one place since freshman year... should i get the coordinator to write a letter (as an extra attachment) for me or is that too much on top of stating it on the app?</p>
<p>if your coordinator knows you extremely well and can show something about you that the rest of your app doesn't show and is really positive, go for it
otherwise, don't bother</p>
