<p>I have reached a dilemma right now. I'm considering starting a new social club with couple of my friends. If I do so, i will be cofounder/vice president (or maybe co-president). </p>
<p>However, I am a rising senior and starting this club will take away a lot of time. So far in my resume, i have a lot of internships but i wasnt involved in many club activies (just member and not staff positions). Should I just concentrate on raising my GPA in my last year or should i do both? I will still raise my GPA even i start this club but is it worth the time?</p>
<p>Do the benefits outweigh the costs?</p>
<p>Please give me inputs. Thanks</p>
<p>Concentrate on academics. It doesn’t matter in the big picture, but your gpa does.</p>
<p>I second the above advice. One late EC will never outweigh one drop in your GPA.</p>
<p>wat if i can do both w/o compromising my gpa?how much better would that be than just getting good grades my senior year?</p>
<p>IF you can do both, then go for it.</p>
<p>Putting aside grades, how much would being cofounder/copresident of a club help for law school?</p>
<p>Not as much as you’re obviously hoping. Really, anyone can start a club. Get three friends and write some things in a word document over a weekend. Fin. That is about the jist of what your founding of the club will consist of as you are exiting your current institution. </p>
<p>I’m sure that admissions people at top law schools know this.</p>
