Commonapp - volunteer work

<p>I was wondering, how do you alert colleges of all the volunteer work you have done, and the hours you've done? Does the guidance counselor write about all of this? Just wondering, how long are guidance counselor recommendations usually?</p>

<p>im not too sure if your school does this, but my school makes us go online through naviance and fill out all the activities we do and things as such so that they can have it to do our app. also you can give ur counselor a resume that says all of this.</p>

<p>buttt in real life, ive heard colleges dont really check to verify the hours you have done =]</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I’d just list the most important ones in additional information or activities.</p>

<p>You do it yourself in activities/extracurriculars.</p>

<p>How do you specify hours?</p>

<p>Make sure your guidance knows that you have done those hours.</p>
