<p>can excess volunteering be a hook? like 1000 hours or something, for an organization where you are really commited to?

<p>I dout it. It's not the hours, but what you get out of it. That's what I've been told, anyway.</p>

<p>I agree with Harvard2011. If you write what you gained out of it..it could be a good hook. You could talk about a specific experience you had..and how it changed your life, but talking about thing like...."I think you should choose me because I volunteer a lot" does nothing for an essay..because tons of people volunteer.</p>

<p>STAND OUT and BE UNIQUE in your essays!</p>

<p>i did 2000 hours, and I was told numbers dont mean much.</p>

<p>No.Quality, not quantity.</p>

<p>It's what you did w/ the hrs. If you're leadership transformed the organization you are working for, then it could be a hook.</p>
