Volunteer Hours Verified??

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm applying to college and one of my biggest concerns at the moment is whether I can report UNRECORDED volunteer hours. I have done countless hours that I never recorded simply because I didn't think I would actually have to PROVE that I participated in certain activities. Will scholarships/college actually try and verify that I provided provable information?? </p>

<p>help me out</p>

<p>No one asks you to prove hours</p>

<p>no one cares about hours, they care about what you did</p>

<p>as has been pointed out, for schools that care about ECs piling up hours isn’t what impresses adcoms. Accomplishments do.</p>

<p>If your wondering what are strong ECs, there is a thread with comments by NSM, a Ivy alum interviewer, about the topic.
