I am an ingoing sophomore and was wondering how (and if) I should be logging my volunteer hours. I have just been putting them into an excel spreadsheet with the date, organization, description, and the supervisor and their email. Would an email just be enough or do I need a signature? I wouldn’t want these supervisors thinking I’ve solely volunteering for the sake of getting some personal gain towards my college admission (which in fact, I am though).

Also, should I be doing anything this summer to strengthen my future college application, or leave that to next summer? I know there’s many questions I’m asking but I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!
