<p>To get into MIT, is it better to have an extra-curricular activity regarding athletics or leadership (like student council)</p>
<p>y not both?</p>
<p>if u have to choose between those two, i say student council b/c u are actually doing something for your school. Shows ur leadership skills.</p>
<p>Neither kind of activity is inherently better than the other kind -- you should do what you're interested in and what suits your temperament and talents.</p>
