Community Service VS Work Experience

<p>Would colleges be more impressed if I had a lot of community service through tutoring or if I get payed to tutor students? (Private Tutoring)
Would private tutoring even be considered a job?</p>

<p>Addition info, I have a couple hundred hours of community service from other things already.</p>

<p>Which should I pick?</p>

<p>Do you need the money? I don’t think there is much of a difference. Turning a volunteer job into a paying job is entreprenurial (I’m not checking the spelling). Private tutoring is a job.</p>

<p>I don’t really need the money, and I have a lot of community service hours already, including from tutoring. The person offered to pay for the tutoring sessions but I haven’t decided whether I should continue tutoring for hours or accept her offer.</p>

<p>The activity that is gonna be the best in college admissions is to be involved in the activity in which you can show passion (through commitment and level of involvement) and if you have a leadership position somewhere that would be an added bonus too.</p>

<p>You can look at the common data sets of the schools you are interested in. In the admissions section, they have different sections (among those are community service and work experience) and rank them as “Very Important,” “Important,” “Considered” and “Not Considered”. The best way to find the common data sets for certain schools is just through a common search engine.
Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Thanks. I understand now.
Oh and BTW, Vbplayer, I remember you commenting on one of my other posts regarding sports, did you end up getting a likely letter/tip from that college? Random question sorry. Just curious.</p>
