I never log my community service hours. But I’ve been volunteering since freshman year. I suppose I could estimate, and I could put down how many hours/week I devote to volunteering, but do you think colleges would like a statistic on how many hours I have volunteered total over my 4 years of HS? Or does it really not make a big difference?
<p>I think it makes a difference. It couldnt hurt. I think my school keeps track of my hours......</p>
<p>The actual application forms asks: how many hours per week, how many weeks per year, and what years.</p>
<p>I know to have them officially "count" in my district, there are forms that must be filled out, and close to the actual time spent volunteering. Not sure if that's a nation-wide thing, though, or if colleges necessarily require that.</p>
