I was just wondering, if I took up something new during my senior year, is it worth putting on my application? I have done lots of community service, but I have never tried any of the usual suspects (going to a retirement home, homeless shelter, picking up trash off the highway, etc.) If I decided to try on of those activities now, should I not put it on my app. because it would seem like I only did it to look good on paper? Even if i shouldn’t put it on there, I would still do it, but it’s all about perceptions. When an adcom looks at that, I don’t want them to get the wrong idea?
<p>If it is something you want to do, they can't blame you for wanting to do community service...</p>
