<p>council / class representative positions in my school are basically a popularity game and my varsity sport doesn't allow you to be captain if you are on the school team... any other ideas on how to demonstrate leadership?</p>
<p>Same… I’m gonna try and found a club. Mock trial, and if I found it and take charge, demonstrate the most knowledge about it, and my grandfather’s our advising lawyer, then I think I could lead it… So I’d say found a club and act like a leader. I realize that this can be difficult though, at our school almost all applications to charter a club are shot down, so this is just a suggestion. Also, if you can elaborate on position inside a broader EC, that could help, for example: By the time I fill out my applications, I’ll be an Eagle Scout, but in addition to that I’ll have been Senior Patrol Leader of my Boy Scout troop, which is the highest youth-held leadership position, and I’m also a member of Order Of The Arrow, scouting’s national honor society. While these positions might be a bit pointless and less impressive than things on others applications, they’re still leadership roles. If you look deeply and elaborate you can probably find a bit of leadership you hadn’t seen previously, even if it seems trivial and superfluous on an application. So I’d say if you can elaborate on what you’ve done and found some clubs, or just one, then you should have sufficient leadership(:</p>
