Community Service Hours?

If your daughter wants to apply at a school with a BA I would say community service hours would matter. (like Northwestern) My daughter knocked herself out during high school - high school drama, community performances, as well as professional. Also AP’s, high school activities, and community service. She did get accepted to a few schools for a BA - one with a huge scholarship - but ended up at NYU for a BFA with no scholarship. She would be the first to say the huge amount of time, work, lack of sleep etc… in high school wasn’t worth it since her achievements in high school seem far above many of her peers. She may change her mind about that in the future, and it’s certainly nice to have options and the opportunity to change your mind, but I wouldn’t force the community service for your daughter.
