Making the most of it on a college application

  • Stay long enough to take on more responsibility, such as a second year or training new volunteers.
  • Keep a log of hours and a few specific moments. They become the activities list entry and, often, an essay.
  • Pair it with something that shows the same interest from another side, such as a class, a competition, or a summer program.
