<p>I really couldn’t have phrased that any worse in my original post. I already had intentions to do tutoring and small bit of volunteer work throughout my high school career prior to asking the question (I AM NOT OPPOSED TO COMMUNITY SERVICE). The only thing I was really trying to ask was whether or not community service is essential in order to be accepted into MIT, because I had been told that after you meet educational requirements major colleges look for those applicants with the MOST community service. At this point I know that is a lie based off of everyone’s responses.</p>
