<p>So I accidentally posted this in the wrong section, but I'm a relative newbie here so I couldn't figure out how to change it... I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be posting the same thing twice, but I'm going to anyway- sorry!</p>
<p>So here's the situation: I'm co-president of a club, and we spend about an hour a week for meetings and events. That's what I put in the activity section of Common App. The problem is, the other co-president decided to put in 2 hours per week because he doesn't have many other extracurriculars. </p>
<p>I tried to convince him to change it, and it didn't go well. We're applying to some of the same schools, and I'm afraid that if I don't exaggerate my participation in the club like he did, it'll seem as though I laid back while he did all of the work. </p>
<p>My question, essentially, is two-fold: what would you do in a situation like this, and how many of you have felt pressured to (or have actually decided to) exaggerate in the extracurricular section because others are doing the same?</p>
