<p>Ok, so I cnt afford to apply to these, for this Summer, should I work or volunteer?</p>
<p>“It depends” would be the answer. Are you working to help your family, to help pay for school tuition, to give to the poor, or to have fun money to go out and party? What kind of volunteering, how many hours, who is benefitting and how? Only you know what is going to be best for you. Either is going to look good to colleges, depending of course on how you spin it in your essays.</p>
