<p>lol 16 whole hours of volunteer work?? you freshmen are getting lazy. when i applied 3 years ago I had ~1000 hours of volunteer experience from 2 positions, and that seemed like the norm..</p>
<p>I would contend that actually, the norm is higher for volunteer hours than it was before. It's getting harder to get into college so students are busting out more extracurriculars, more volunteering hours, and more scholarships/awards.</p>
