Hi all,
I would like to know whether volunteering in any (Oxfam and etc.) non profit work is taken into account by adcoms? Or this must not be volunteering, but full time job? What are your take ons? ))
Volunteering experience is considered by adcoms. but point is that if you have never participated in any social activity and suddenly say 5 months before applications you have joined and NGO, then surely the adcoms can see through it that you are not really passionate about the cause.
My suggestion, if you have long time before you apply to colleges then begin your volunteer activity immediately.. It need not be Full time
