Thankyou for your comment shrek</p>
<p>In the nicest way possible, I'll say I don't think you'll get in...your academic stats are kind of blah, particularly for an Asian, and your extracurriculars may be many but none are really exceptional...or even close. </p>
<p>The fact that you've been in the states only 2.5 years might really help you though. If you want a shot, I would play that up as much as you can. Talk about the experience in your essays...make those essays not "decent" but mind-blowing. Good luck.</p>
<p>hey10004.
You are kidding... aren't you?</p>
<p>It means that you worked two weeks during one holiday during the whole 4 years!
My record is ~130 hours a week ;). But it was only one week, and I had a decrease for 100-110 for next three weeks. Otherwise I would die of lack of sleep. [I was close, but I heard stories about cub scouts leaders working more... about 140-150 hours for several weeks. My friend who was in such a "work camp" came back to home, and slept 24 hours, woke to eat something and then next 24 hours. I had a doubtful pleasure of working with their camp leader... And it was HARD mental experience.].</p>
<p>It learns you how to manage your time and power :). </p>
<p>Anyway, 60-70 hours a week is something usual for volunteerings. At least here...
I know many people working for Amnesty International, and several other organisations, that should have much more volunteering hours, I guess that it should be about 2000 hours for people that are involved in scouting and the charity.
But many [ok. several] people have about 1000, those that are more involved, about 1500 hours. However I did not make much volunteering during 12th grade, unless we count volunteering in laboratory.</p>
<p>150 hrs per 4 years. It is let's say 2,4 hours a week... 0,6 hours a week for 1 one year... Hmm... Why it is only 150 hrs then??</p>
<p>jpsi you don't know what ur talking about
just keep your mouth shut</p>
<p>that 150 hrs was outside the school during 2.5 years</p>
<p>??? I am not from US. And things here are a bit different.
However, I can tell you what I am talking about.</p>
<p>I am making digressions, write my thoughts on screen, and ask you what do you enclose in those 150 hrs. Because I do not believe, that american children would have less volunteering hours than those in Poland!
It is generally known, that americans are more 'in' with volunteering. But the statistics shows the completely different situation. I would llike to know why. </p>
<p>Is the matter a bit clearer?</p>
<p>FYI I am from Korea u know
so what now</p>
<p>ok. What's the work 'in-school' available?
You seem to a bit angry. You should not be in such a state. I do not want to ridicule you, ok? I have no profit in making people unhappy, as you might know :).</p>
