How many hours of volunteering should I have for my application? I'm applying for B-school 2014. Should I volunteer many places, or just one place?

Also, is there a target number of hours I should be shooting for? I was thinking 8 Hours a month.

8 hours a month is pretty solid. One thing you should try to do is get a leadership role within any organization you are volunteering for. Show that you are doing more than just showing up.

I agree with Jim. But let's put it this way, it's not so much hours as it is length seriousness and leadership. I mean if you have been volunteering for 10 years, whether you dis five or eight hours won;t make that much of a difference. So length is good. As are leadership and achievements. So if you are going and giving out food for ten years that is wonderful. But if you have started organizing new fooddrives in your workplace and church etc. that's even MORE wonderful.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
