The level of school that OP’s child is targeting isn’t clear from the initial post. For Ivy/T20s, community service matters. Visit their websites, read their mission statements. That group of colleges views themselves as educating future leaders who will meaningfully impact the world. Demonstrating a deep commitment to community service is a valuable piece of the admissions package. Top grades in rigorous courses are assumed for a competitive Ivy/T20 applicant.
My D is at an ivy that values the pursuit of knowledge in service to society. Knowing that, she made sure to highlight her years of civic engagement and community service. She was also able to articulate how her college education, and the resources of that particular college, would allow her to have a wider impact.
