Hey everyone,

I have a question that I think SDN can answer for me. I am in the military and have a very busy schedule (like we all do) between full time work/training, family responsibilities and full-time school. Seeing as how my free time is limited, I find myself not having much time for volunteering. This actually kinda sucks because I really like giving service and I really enjoy the personal growth that comes from serving others. With all that being said what would you all say is more important in terms of a strong application, a full course load or volunteer hours?

full course load.... Volunteering is "semi-important" but not when you have no physical time to do it (which is obviously your case).

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it....
