On my common app, I wrote that I’m President of a club, with participation grade levels 11 & 12. However, I became president in the later stages of 11th grade, and so was president for 2-3 months of 11th grade, and for the whole of 12th grade. Is that ok? I’m worried, because I wasn’t president for the whole of 11th grade…
Bump?
You’re fine unless someone else puts President and applies same college.
@FiddleMySticks No, I’m not worried about that. But what I’ve done is ok, right?
Yep, as long as you’re president now.
@FiddleMySticks Thanks! So it’s ok that I wasn’t president for the whole of 11th grade, so long as I was for a few months (the last 2-3 months)? (sorry if I’m being paranoid)
president shmezident. It seems like a minor activity and a minor mistake. No college on the planet is going to care and most won’t even notice.
HS students always overestimate the effect of their ECs in college admissions. You’re fine.
@T26E4 I see, thanks! But that’s not what’s bothering me… I just want to know one thing - is it ok to list my activity grade as also 11th grade? I was president for the last few months, but not the whole year
Yes, you’re fine. Good luck
@T26E4 Thank you!
