Do you have to prove Community Service? How?

Some schools do request verification of community service hours especially if the high school gives credit for community service (yes, at my D’s high school, because there were a minimum # of community service hours required for graduation, it did show up on the transcript) .

While you may not have to prove it, if it shows that you misrepresented the information on your application, it can and will be be grounds for a college rescinding admission (or even your degree).

Community service hours will not get you admitted but lying about it can keep you out.

Remember if you are doing all of this community service, it is going to end up being collaborated some where, either in your interviews, essays or recommendations.
