Hey everyone,

I seem to be having such a hard time with dates / hrs , etc. on the app. I am really trying to be 100% honest throughout this whole thing but am finding I have to make some serious estimates. Did anyone else go through this? Is this okay?

Also, the ADA clearly states on the app. to not include any Highschool involvement (which i think is totally reasonable). However, I have spoken with two individual schools whom have said "the more , the better... include it". What to do?

Thanks for your insights.
 
if it's things that you did in high school that you still continue to do, i'd include it. if not, then i wouldn't. it might highlight your inactivity in more recent years. just my opinion though 🙂

Hello! Try your best to make the best estimate. 🙂
 
Just give it your best guess. You'd be surprised at how many people just completely exaggerate their hours because of how easy it is to get away with.
 
I think putting 140 hours as opposed to 136.5 is no biggie.
Your primary goal now is to e-submit your app ASAP ,so yea, just give it your best guess.

As for Highschool involvement, I have to agree with teethfordays.
