How to indicate when you held a leadership position

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>On the Common App, how do you specify the grade you held a leadership position?</p>

<p>For example, say I was in XYZ Club for all four years of high school, but was elected Secretary my sophomore year and was President my junior year.</p>

<p>I don't want to just write "President" because it may sound like I was President all four years...but having both "Secretary" and "President" on the same activity may sound like I was both - at the same time! </p>

<p>Would you, in this scenario, split the activity up into two lines (one for your time as secretary, one as president?)</p>

<p>Please enlighten me...thank you!</p>

<p>Would it allow you to do something like this:</p>

<p>XYZ Club, 2010 - 2013
President 2013
Secretary 2012</p>

<p>Maybe “Secretary (2 years), President (1 year)” or you could just say “President (senior year)” to make things simpler.</p>

<p>I like MD Mom’s way better though, it’s more concise.</p>

<p>Something like President 13’, Secretary 12’.</p>
