<p>^^ My son is a junior at Yale; my daughter is a senior at Harvard. I stand by what I said in post #67. Their lack of community service, or an activity that showed a commitment to others, did not seem to hinder their acceptances to HY, nor to Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Williams, Georgetown, Pomona, Middlebury, Boston College, and Vanderbilt. Colleges really do NOT put that much stock in community service. It’s great if you have it, but the lack of it, does not hurt an applicant or raise questions.</p>
