<p>How big of a "plus" is it to be Editor in Chief?
Equivalent of School President?</p>

<p>It's equivalent to President of a club. (I was EIC of a student newspaper for 2 years in college.)</p>

<p>I'm not sure I agree 100% - depends on what kind of club you're talking about. There are some clubs at our school that are really demanding of both time and commitment - being president of one of those might be comparable to being editor-in-chief. But there are some others that are MUCH less demanding - more of a social scene, that consist of one or two "leaders" and a group of their 10 or 12 closest friends. Hopefully admissions officers can tell the difference!</p>

<p>Being the president of something is obviously going to be beneficial, and counts definitely... but school organizations/clubs really aren't the kinds of things that will effect your admission by alot... unless you go beyond than just being leader.</p>
