<p>hey guys, i'm wondering how big of an impact leadership positions have on people's chances of getting into ivy league schools, thanks</p>
<p>depends on what it is and how you play it</p>
<p>Explaining how the position impacted you and/or others is going to do more than "president of the spanish club"</p>
<p>well, lets assume that two people have the exact same applications, except one was the student body president, so would he/she have an advantage over the other applicant?</p>
<p>Not necessarily. It's all about how you present what you have. That body president thing won't do much unless the other person did something outstanding with that title, like living up to the darn title. </p>
<p>Student body presidents....never had any good ties with those. All popularity contests for those positions...we had this guy once...UGH</p>
<p>Oh, he was a lot of laughs though...</p>
