Very low volunteer hours

For Community service hours, when you apply in ADDSAS, do they see when you got the hours on the application? I am planning to grind around 80 hours in 2 months, or if i cant do it by then, i plan to grind out hours until august in time for regular admissions. I am kind of stressing out on the amount of hours as I barely have any and I don't know how poorly it will affect my chances of getting in. Any help is appreciated!

yeah, you have to put the hours in, but it's not like you put in how many hours each session, it asks you when you started and how long you volunteered for and roughly how many hours per week you did. It's like a sliding scale. So if you started the service in June and went until august, they'd see you did 80 hours between june and august. If you've been doing the service since January but grinded the hours the last two months, then they wont see you did 80 hours the 2 months, since it has to be spaced out or averaged to hours per week. I suggest opening the app and making an account to go see what I mean. Hard to explain over text, much easier to go visualize it for yourself

They’ll see this for what it is…you just trying to check some box on the application. For service to actually be impactful, there should be some longterm commitment.

OP: Since we don't have a WAMC profile, it's hard to say that cramming 80 hours is going to help (it's unlikely). We do see how long you have done the activity, and we can surmise if you just discovered you need to show some community service on your application.
