Question

Do you recommend getting, to get into College? I'm in High School and I am applying this coming fall, and I have about 100 hours-- How many more do I need to get it too look good on my apps for college??

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this changes anything but what program are you applying to?  I did about 50 hours in high school and made it into university.  Post secondary schools normally just look at your marks.  Some schools however do consider extra curricular activities, things like sports, a job etc.  Just depends on the school, I'm going to the University of Waterloo this fall and they did ask those kind of questions because they did take them seriously into account, if your collage doesn't ask for those things I wouldn't worry about them.  Hope this helps :)
