<p>You could get in, but colleges especially of that caliber, tend to care about your activities outside of school once you get to that level. No volunteering at all could hurt you somewhat, at our school students are required to do a minimum of 10 hours each year to graduate, simply because it has been recognized as important quality colleges look for in students. Sticking your passions and leadership is smart, but I’m wondering if you are slightly limiting yourself. Anyways, your GPA and class rank are certainly nothing to joke about it, so I’d say you still have a shot. Good luck!</p>
<p>Your stats are in line, but Penn is a reach for everyone these days.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input Shawn, and do you think it would be a good idea to start volunteering now or would that just sound foolish since I’m applying this Fall.</p>
<p>Volunteering is not a requirement, and to start now would look like resumé padding. Focus on your current EC’s and write some stellar essays.</p>
<p>Thanks skieurope</p>
