I agree about community service not mattering for BFAs. My son is a freshman BFA acting student at Boston University. He had excellent grades but basically NO community service to report on his college applications.

Extracurriculars and community service are two different things. My son was on the school newspaper all four years of high school and was its editor senior year, and had several other extracurriculars like that.

For National Honor Society you need community service. My son did a lot of community theatre (because his high school did not have a theatre dept), and NHS agreed to let him use those hours for his service hours!
