Hi guys! I was just wondering if on my common app it is worth writing down that I volunteered for an organization in researching and inputing data on donor companies (location, emails, etc.) I should have at least fifty hours for this so is it worth mentioning?
Yes…
If you have space, mention it
That is not very many hours to volunteer for something over your high school years, 9th-12th grade including summers. Ideally the things you feature on your Common App span several years to demonstrate your commitment. If you plan to use this on your Common App, you should continue with it over the summer/school year.
Any extra curricular activity is beneficial to touch on in your common application (even if it was only 50 hours) as long as you are able to present it in a way that shows that your participation taught you something, bettered your character, or added to your understanding of the career you wish to have. Also, make sure that you talk about it as positively as possible.
