College admissions define ‘leadership’

Not everyone is preachy. Some just prefer to do their own thing. If someone happens to be observing and learning from them, then that’s a different thing. But there are people who just don’t care about the show, and do the right thing regardless of who’s watching. It’s all about preferences.

As has been said above and by Susan Cain, one in every three is an introvert. Yet if you ask around, less than 20% will admit to being an introvert. What does that tell you? It's not easy being an introvert in an extroverted world. And it is definitely not easy to demonstrate leadership as an introvert on your college app. I hope admission officers look as deep as that article says.

One hundred percent agree. Experienced this recently.

What would a student body made up entirely of “leaders” look like?
