On my app I put that I am a co-president

<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>If you put co-pres and u feel that u are a co-pres, then thats fine! I dont see why they would recsind your admission</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry. A bit odd that you have so many co-presidents, but I don't think they'll rescind you. You don't seem to have lied.</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>So relax, and have fun at college!</p>

<p>So I'm okay?</p>

<p>Absolutely. You should be completely fine.</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>Everyone cleans their titles up.</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>This thread made me laugh. Congratulations on your acceptance.</p>

<p>haha, John. This thread is pretty funny. Some people on this site are paranoid about EVERYTHING!</p>

<p>Agreed, but I’m quite paranoid myself so I can relate.</p>

<p>Mal77, I found your title conversions fascinating. I’d like to see more examples that I might find useful in the future. </p>

<p>(Just kidding… or am I?)</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>

<p>LOLOLOLOL</p>

<p>me thinks you worry too much.</p>
