Well gibby, maybe it was because your children were outstanding or something. I’m just saying that having allot of hours won’t hurt your application either. It’ll make it a little better even if it doesn’t substantially increase your chances. Some students do do it just to “look good” and I must admit in the beginning that was mostly my motivation too but then when you start doing it it becomes fun. Like this summer I’m volunteering at the library and I really enjoy it and when me and my friends go and feed the homeless its honestly the best time ever. But off that topic now, what were the stats of your kids? Would help me alot if I could know especially the honors and awards they’ve gotten :)
