Hi all,

I am an incoming high school junior passionate about helping children in health or education. My dream school is Berkeley to major in Public Health or Nutritional Sciences.

Lately this summer I have been doing a lot of volunteering at children’s camps. I was wondering whether applicants must list their total volunteer hours on their college application. People have told me that one must have 150+ hours. Do colleges calculate this themselves are is there a portion on the application where one can write total hours of community service?

In addition, I was wondering about scholarships. For schools such as Berkeley, one applies for a scholarship during their senior year once they know they get accepted right?
If any one knows any scholarships for juniors in high school or seniors, it would be greatly appreciated. I have done a lot of research and would love to hear opinions and feedback from others!

Lastly, if you are a incoming, current, or alumni of Berkeley, could you please tell me your statistics so I know what kind of people they accept.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all so much in advance and Go Bears! :)
