How do colleges verify volunteer hours?

<p>Thanks for all the responses!</p>

<p>And to clarify, when I said “I don’t feel like only including my documented hours because there’s a big difference between the two”, I meant there is a big difference between the number of documented hours I have and the number of undocumented. Only reporting the documented hours would significantly lower my total hours. I didn’t want all that work to be for nothing.</p>

<p>But yeah, I was worried because I volunteered in places where a LOT of other teens volunteered regularly and there wasn’t a whole lot of room for me to “stand out” and do something memorable enough for anyone to remember two full years later…</p>

<p>I’m not sure where the thing with the interview came in, I never mentioned any interview. I was just referring to how you list your hours in the activity portion of the app, and occasionally colleges (notably the UCs) pick a random few to audit. </p>
