<p>I will be student body (ASB) president next year and VP of my senior class......is this typical of many students at elite colleges or will this be a nice extra boost on my applications? I was also sophomore class president and ASB secretary. I don't take the positions just to improve my apps, but I think they would help. Am I right or wrong here?</p>
<p>Definitely include your leadership positions on your college apps! Another thing that will be helpful to you is to indicate what you actually did while you held these leadership positions. For example, maybe you ran the weekly meetings or organized a fundraiser. It's helpful to point these things out because at some schools, you can be a member or even an officer of a club but never actually participate. By telling them concrete things that you actually did, you are setting yourself apart from the many students who joined a club but were never that active in it.</p>
<p>thanks amanda.....good points about specific accomplishments.
anyone else? please?</p>
