Well, at many schools CSF is a joke; you show up for a couple of meetings, and then attend six flags once a year. Some have a community service requirement of like 10-20 hours, but the community service itself is worth more than having CSF on your application (unless as mentioned you are an officer). In general, I would say CSF is good for the scholarships, but is hardly an actual extra curricular. Maybe it was just horribly bad at my public high school, but I really cant say CSF ever actually did anything worthwhile for my school or the community, we were told just to join because it “looks really good on college applications,” but now that Ive done it for 4 years I think they were comparing it to an empty slot.
