<p>A lot of people, including you, seem to have some mistaken idea about how volunteering works with college apps.</p>
<p>Community service is just like any other EC. You don’t even necessarily need community service ECs to apply.</p>
<p>There is no box on the application where you write your “volunteer hours.” Even if you have some community service, you list the specific activity (ex. tutoring) and the hours/week + weeks/year.</p>
