Hey everyone,
I’ve been doing advocacy work with Habitat for Humanity, and I really want to continue with it throughout college. The organization has been super welcoming (probably because it's non-paid), and they gave me positive feedback on my work in the first semester. I got connected with them through a school program, which I needed to take for credit, so it’s on my transcript.
Now that I know them better, I have the option to connect with them myself and continue the work without taking credit. My concern is that if this work is on my transcript, adcoms might view it as something I was obliged or forced to do because it was tied to a class, when in reality, it was entirely voluntary and driven by my own passion.
Same goes for research. Our chem department mandates us to enroll in a course called "Independent Research" if we're in a research lab. I'm having the same question as above.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
