question about activities

[jb0390]

Hey everyone!

First time posting on sdn, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place or something, but I just had a question about ECs before I submit my app: if I did "significant" volunteering in high school (150+ hours, most of which was with one organization, so it shows committment/continuity or whatever), should I include it? I know hs activities don't really matter, but this volunteering really did inspire me to keep volunteering in college and everything. And I think 150 hours in high school is not insignificant.

Anyways, if anyone wants to give feedback I'd love that! Thanks guys!

Did you continue to do it throughout college?

Thanks for responding! Not the exact same thing, no. I went to school in a different city from where I grew up. So I'm guessing if I didn't continue it, don't put it?

Usually that is the rule. Leave anything you didn't in high school and didn't continue off your application. It could be worth mentioning in your PS or secondaries though!
