<p>Ok so I was the Vice President of my class but the President stepped down due to academic reasons. We never had re-ellections so I basically took on all the duties of President. Is it ok to say I was president? </p>
<p>Oh and I will most likely be a captain for our wrestling team this year but the season has not started. Is it ok to put down captain?</p>
<p>Do colleges really check into these smalll things?</p>
<p>anyone? Help lol i'm trying to get my APP done tonight.</p>
<p>I'd say the president title is legit by default; it's not an embellishment but a statement of fact.</p>
<p>And if you were elected or appointed captain and the season has yet to start, you are captain... unless of course you step down like the president ;)</p>
<p>Agree, president is legit. Captains are usually elected/selected at the end of the season, so you should know by now if you are a captain or not.</p>
<p>^not necessarily. for the teams I'm on we vote in the first few weeks of practice. I am not sure whether this varies by sports, school, region, or what.</p>
<p>for example, I did include in my activities that I "intend" play sports this winter and spring, but I only noted the times that I have already been captain. I am almost certain to be captain again this year, but I since I can't say I "intend" to be captain because it's not my person decision.
if you have room, you could say that you were "Acting President of class of '08 (elected VP, assumed Presidential responsibilities when elected President resigned)" or maybe if you're like me on my app, you'll find a way to abbreviate that down a bunch.</p>
<p>hope that helps a bit, and good luck!!</p>
<p>You do the job of a president, then you are the president as long as no one else in your school can make that claim lol.</p>
<p>Does the coach choose the captain, or does the rest of the team? You could call the coach tonight and volunteer your services as captain, if he's the decider.</p>
<p>At my school, captains are always seniors and they are elected by the team the first few weeks of practice, after a week or so of tryouts. As I will be only one of 2 seniors on my winter sports team, I will definitely be a captain, so I am thinking of putting something like "likely to be elected captain." what do you all think? I've heard colleges think it's a big deal to be a captain.</p>
