<p>Do you need to be President of at least one club in order to have a chance? I'm currently only Vice President of a club and Secretary/Treasurer of another...</p>
<p>I doubt it. Schools look at a lot of things</p>
<p>There are some schools that leadership and service are crucial, but I think that is only a handful. It is part of your application and it will be evaluated by Rice, but it will not make or break your application.</p>
<p>Sometimes there are things that are more important than position in a club. Some may prefer to see a student hold down a part time job on the weekends and manage schoolwork rather than a student being an elected officer in a club. It all depends on the admission reviewer’s perspective.</p>
<p>No, there are many people who get in without having held a presidential position in a club.</p>
