Student Body President

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey CC'ers. I was just wondering, today I was elected in a landslide to be student body president of my competitive private high school, i think the youngest president our school has ever had. and I had already been president of my class for these two years (I am a rising junior). So, does it help at all when application time comes? </p>

<p>My strongest point when it comes to colleges is leadership credentials: i am the head delegate for Model UN, I started and teach a politics and debate club, and I founded/write a political blog with multiple writers (carmonreport.com). Also, head political columnist for newspaper, and other EC's...</p>

<p>For other things, see my "chance me" post here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgetown-university/719824-chance-me-i-will-love-you-forever.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgetown-university/719824-chance-me-i-will-love-you-forever.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I will probably be applying to Georgetown EA, either SFS or the college for poli-sci I am not sure yet. So, exactly how much does this help me if at all?
Thanks!</p>

<p>It should definitely help, you seem to be quite passionate about leadership!</p>

<p>Yes it will help… But what you do with the position will mean a lot too, and may make the difference at a lot of good schools.</p>

<p>You look good for a lot of schools - but what are you doing with your summers?</p>

<p>Have Fun</p>

<p>Of course that helps you! You already have great leadership credentials, especially for a rising junior. Being student body president can only be a good thing.</p>
