<p>Community service:</p>

<p>Here's the problem....</p>

<p>I listed my community service, but only included 3 or 4 things... I made a mistake of elaborating too much on two of them, and so I had no room to list the other things I did. I also did not list how many hours I had for each activity, as I assumed UF would look to see the hours on my transcript... I found out that they don't... </p>

<p>What do you guys think that my chances of acceptance are? I'm so scared, because UF is my first choice school... :/</p>

<p>To me, this is a very minor concern.</p>

<p>You have a gpa (I presume weighted) in range.</p>

<p>And an ACT score in range.</p>

<p>And decent ECs.</p>

<p>The admissions officer has an accurate general picture of you. The things you want to add won’t make a material difference.</p>

<p>Now, if you have cured cancer, but had forgotten to mention that, that would be different.</p>
