I don’t have any registered volunteer hours

It’s not an issue if you’ve been busy with your other activities. Admissions Officers understand that many high schools require students to have 50 or 100 hours of community service hours in order to graduate. So, those kinds of EC’s are really discounted unless a student did something extra special and has a gazillion hours. My kids, for example, didn’t have any community service or volunteer hours on their EC list, and it didn’t stop them from being admitted to many top schools.
