LOL! That’s funny!</p>
<p>LadyD - My son, who received a merit scholarship from UNC, did not have hundreds and hundreds of service hours. What he had were ECs that reflected who he was and where he had passion. He played a high school sport and, in a continuation of that interest, he volunteered as an assistant coach for Special Olympics in the same sport. He worked as a part time referee in the same sport to earn money. Our experience with Special Olympics is that they are always looking for volunteers, they don’t ask your parents income, and don’t care if you are home schooled. You don’t have to have hundreds and hundreds of ECs, at least not for UNC, but being strong in academics and showing passion in something is important</p>
