<p>I want to know how important it is to have more than one leadership position in your application. I'm already the President of a political organization at my school, but is that enough? I was thinking about running for Student council president or 12th grade president, but is it essential? I dont know if its worth the time it will take to do....</p>
<p>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Yes, being student council president looks good on your application.</p>
<p>No, you shouldn’t run if that’s the real reason you want the position.</p>
<p>Lots of class Presidents apply. It will show a sort of leadership but it won’t really make you stand out.</p>
<p>what about being the president of clubs like the national honor society or mu alpha theta in the school? would that look impressive?</p>
<p>^from what it looks like, honor societies like those count for much. They certainly won’t get you in, but can’t hurt, either.</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen (my friends and I, who are at Yale and harvard), I’ve aren’t hat we have at least one national award or a talent that allowed us to win awards outside school. You can be a president of a school club, but you have to have a significant existence and presence on campus. Remember, you’re competing with so many people who are also presidents of other clubs, so you have to stand out to get in</p>
<p>you guys misunderstand, the main main reason i would run is to help my school. im not like that. i was just curious about how it looks on the application. thanks for the input.</p>
