Question(s) About "Work Experience"/Volunteering

Applying to College

<p>Okay, volunteering counts as "work experience," right? </p>

<p>So, I'll have about 150+ hours from volunteering at a hospital and about the same amount from a Red Cross Internship (which is a volunteer thing, so it gives community service hours)....that's enough to impress UPenn/Columbia, right (along with all the other prereqs)?</p>

<p>Top schools aren't impressed by hours. If the hours reflect commitment, passion, leadership, etc then you are golden. If not, it's not bad but it won't "impress" the top schools.</p>

<p>I don't totally get what you mean by that...</p>
