<p>Can you guys tell me your leadship roles??
like captain of the volleyball team.
People say that I NEED to have at least a few to get into mit.
But i don't have any.
and they say that everyone plays the piano-my lifelong passion
so is that true???
I won't stand out as an applicant?!!!
That's my main extracurricular!:/</p>
<p>Please help:D</p>
<p>No, not everyone plays piano, but it’s certainly not the most unusual extracurriular. You don’t need leadership roles, but they can add to an application like anything else can. </p>
<p>My leadership role was senior representative to a community service. That wasn’t nearly as interesting as my other activities.</p>
<p>You can look at the decisions thread for CC members last year (stickied at the top of this board) to see what kinds of profiles real MIT applicants have. A wide variety of people are accepted to MIT each year – there are no hard-and-fast requirements for what an application must have.</p>
