My school is HUGE. So huge that there are 3-7 students running for any given position on Student Council at a single time. So huge that there is absolutely no way anybody could potentially win the election just by being “popular.” So the elections are taken pretty seriously, meaning that becoming class president is not an easy feat… but I can try :(. So my question is: Should I run for Class President? This question takes a lot into account. Class President is taken super seriously and responsibility/commitment is high so there will be little spare time for any other extracurriculars I’d also like to take so my question is if it is worth the trade? I also wanted to know if being class president or holding any other position at student council for that matter is beneficial in the long run for college applications? One last thing, is there perhaps any statistic or report on how well student council members fare in their college applications? Thank you for your time.
Run for class president if you would prefer to fill that role as compared to the ECs you would have to give up for that position.

Alright thanks! I think I’ll just go ahead and run since it’s freshman year and I’d just like to experiment with my schedule a bit to know what works best for me for the future. Thank you!
