<p>In all honesty, you should be good at all of the schools on your list. However, I wouldn’t mention “- editor-in-chief for a division of a global online video game organization” as an EC. It just doesn’t sound good at all…that’s like me saying “Co-Leader of the two largest clans (a total of 250+ members) in Star Wars Battlefront 2.” It just isn’t what colleges want to see…</p>

<p>Geniuses** looking good for choices.</p>

<p>yeah i thought “genuises” would get some ppl to look =P.</p>

<p>@Samonuh, thanks for the info. Maybe I’ll just say “chief news writer for a website”. That should sound less geeky, although the org I write for is sponsored by Intel and hosts video game tournaments worldwide giving out about $500,000 in cash prizes annually</p>

<p>^^^Oh! That’s a bit different. Include that in the details and information.</p>
