Question about community service hrs?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Siena College

<p>I accidentally put down the wrong hours for a volunteer service at a hospital on the common app.</p>

<p>I've been volunteering there since the summer before 10th grade, so I put down 10th, 11th and 12th grade in the activities section. I have 100+ hours there, and I accidentally included 12th grade in my calculation of an average. So, I put down 2 hrs/wk and 20 weeks/year, which I thought would come up to around 100 hours, BUT I didn't realize that colleges may not calculate in 12th grade when calculating the total # of hours.</p>

<p>So, if Siena only looks at 10th and 11th grade when they calculate the hours, it'll come up to 80 hours! And I did 20 hours more than that!! Will they consider that I'm still volunteering there and could potentially have more than 80 hours?? </p>

<p>What should I DO?? I've already submitted the common app to one college so I obviously can't change it now. What are my options??</p>

<p>BUMP. Please help me! I want to get into Siena/AMC and it’ll look so much better if they can calculate it as 100 hours (which it was).</p>

<p>My son attended Siena- we know lots of kids that got into Siena. I don’t think the 20 hours will really matter. Are you otherwise competitive for Siena by GPA and SAT?<br>
The admission’s department is very responsive so you could call and let them know how much you want to attend and ask if you can still submit supplemental information.</p>
