OP. Stanford does not care how many clubs you are involved in…instead, they would prefer someone who spent all the time with one “real” club who was actively ENGAGED in the club from start to finish going from member to president of club by their senior year…it’s QUALITY not QUANTITY…

…Stanford really does not care whether you do community service or not…performing 250 hours of community service for the wrong reasons is meaningless! Let me enlighten you…there are many “star” students who have basically no/minimal community service hours who get admitted. Many of the top elite recruited athletes…many of the top international/national ranking musicians who are busy performing or competing…many of the young CS/engineering whizzes are too busy creating apps or working for a company…they DO NOT have time for “bogus” community service hours…
