The most important requirement should be his GPA. I think, if he keeps his grades up and works 10 hours a week should be sufficient. The stress of 20 hours and all that community service would interfere with his studies. I remember having to quit my job my senior year so I could get my homework done and study for tests.
The community service ends up being just over one hour a week. It was 80 hours a year. That is not much at all and looks great on applications and work history etc.
Idk if op realises how difficult a medical degree is to complete: maintaining a 75+ average while working 20 hours a week are already very high expectations without the community service attached
I live in Delaware. If you get 90 hours of community service outside of school hours during the year, you get an extra high school credit. That looks good on college applications. This isnt unreasonable, but i would say the work hours should be an average across the year rather than checking weekly.
wow people are thinking 80 hours of community service in ONE YEAR (which is less than 2 hours a week or 2 weeks worth of 8 hour days) is a LOT? Those are pretty easy expectations to fulfill. smh at a lot of you.
Community service is a valid condition, especially only 80 hours over a whole year. Working 20 hours a week while maintaining good grades is not, go either or. If he can't maintain the grades, show he's willing to put in work at least. Taking away study time and expecting grades to go up doesn't work.
Scholarships and other types of financial aid come with scholastic performance and personal enricment activities requirements. How is this any different? And it sounds like he isn't all that driven.
That is less than one 8 hour shift of volunteer work a month. There's no reason he can't work 20 hours a week and keep a C average. He's lazy and unmotivated. He won't make it through med school much less the internship if he can't do this.
It's not 20 hours a month but a week. That's different. 72 is a C grade so... what's the problem there? Genuinely not trying to start anything but that is a C grade. He hasn't volunteered so you may have a point there if med students have to do that

her conditions are for 80 hrs community service a YEAR, people, not a week - that's 1.5 hours a week. Pay attention before you respond.
Regardless of the hours worked/volunteered, how is someone getting low 70s going to get into medical school?
Nta. Your money, your rules.

Start of story: i maried into money.
End of story: i don't want my nephew to have it easy
He definitely has it easy 😂
She's TA. You can't have everything, and she's being unreasonable
Look part time job and percentage are valid but 80hr community work against his will is insane
Then no money. Whomp whomp.
Some expectations lined out before hand seems reasonable. The ones she set...

These are easy enough standards to fill. It was more than fair. Putting someone through college and med school is hella expensive.
80 hrs is insane.
Not, 80 hours per YEAR, that's like 4 hours twice a month.
