I heard this is a big “hook” for college. What does this position do at your school?
At my school, they don’t even tally the votes at the “election” – if it’s close, it’s a tie. It’s more of a popularity contest, and the winner does nothing after winning.
Is it truly a “hook?”
No. A hook is like being a URM or recruited athlete. That’s really just another extracurricular.
@wonderfulreads Is it considered a major EC? What does SG President do in your school?
It’s really not a major EC. It’s a leadership position, but I don’t think it would get you into a school you aren’t otherwise qualified for.
@EIC2400 How many class presidents do you think apply to the Ivies? They’re a dime a dozen.
@michelle426 In my school, it’s a popularity contest, and they’re not the type of people who would remotely apply to the Ivies. Does the class president in your school have any sort of power or responsibilities, or is it just a title?
