<p>So I'm running for President of 3 honor societies, but it is always possible that I may not make it. However, I am also the lead guitarist of a fairly successful independent band... Is it more impressive to adcoms to have the second EC where hours of commitment and leadership are required or being president of many clubs?? Which carries more clout? If i don't make the runnings, am I screwed for top schools? Or will my other EC leadership role pull me through?</p>
<p>I’d focus on the band and talk about how involved you are with that. If you have a really strong talent you can show over time I think that’s more impressive than spreading yourself running for office of this and that. My D was a dancer and had minimal leadership positions otherwise - VP of NHS. She got in everywhere she applied.</p>
<p>I was president of no clubs. In fact, I had only one leadership role throughout high school.</p>
