<p>So I have a somewhat strange issue. One of my clubs has what is essentially a board of co-presidents (there are 5 of us, I know, odd, but anyway). We call ourselves simply "the board." On my app I put that I am a co-president because I thought it would be clearer than putting "board member" because the adcoms have no idea what that means. I also put down the areas that I am mainly in charge of, which I think makes it clear that there are a few of us. </p>
<p>I was accepted early decision to a top tier school.</p>
<p>Now, my issue is that I have managed to convince myself that the adcoms will think that I was lying and will rescind me. This isn't a lie, I would never lie on an app and from my perspective I am one of a few co-presidents, but the whole situation is making me nervous...</p>
<p>Am I being totally ridiculous? Or could they really consider this lying?</p>
<p>You didn't lie. Chill. They're not going back through every single acceptance scrutinizing your extracurriculars to make sure you appointed yourself the appropriate leadership position. Honestly, they have a lot of better things to do.</p>
<p>Adcoms will very rarely check on your extracurriculars unless its something truly out of the ordinary (as in less than .01% of the apps). You're fine either way</p>
<p>Poster Maker = Marketing Director
Co-president = President
Member of first year club = Founding Member
Influential member of first club = Co-Founder
Parliamentarian or Low Rank = Officer of xxxxxx
Created website = Webmaster Officer</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I feel much better now. I think I was probably just freaking myself out because I'm paranoid and convinced that something will happen to prevent me from going to my first choice school.</p>
<p>Uhmmm I know a girl at my school who was accepted to Cornell ED, and I KNOW she beefed up her application SO much with lies under her extracurriculars...
Ooooooh it makes me burn. But your situation is obviously different - you wrote it in your app in good faith that you are a co-pres, and it sounds like you are.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s infuriating, Hope. I think my situation is different though, I AM a leader of this club, so I don’t feel like I’m lying. I’m just totally paranoid.</p>
<p>I think you were honest and stated your position to the best of your ability. What ticks me (and adcoms too I think) off is if you put only “President” or “Captain” when actually you share the position with others.</p>
