<p>good stats, but you need wAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more volunteer hours man.
you’re going to be competing with people who have 200+ hours volunteering.</p>

<p>I disagree. Volunteer hours do not make or break a candidate. At most, they are just another form of extracurricular activities. Nobody should attribute rejection to a lack of volunteer hours, and, unless you’ve led crusades with OXFAM to save Africa, the reverse should also be true.</p>

<p>You’re rank and test scores should be enough to get you into both of those schools.</p>
