<p>Admissions wise…how much community service is bates looking for in an applicant?</p>
<p>I am the parent of a freshman who was involved in community service in High School as the main thing that she did. However, I don't think that there is a community service requirement for admission. Bates wants to see that prospective students are involved in something outside of academics, be it sports, music, student government, ...but they don't expect students to do everything.</p>
