student government... actually important?

<p>Is student government actually valued on a college application (such as Class President, vp, treasurer etc.)? Or is it just another "NHS", as it's called? [ivy league caliber schools]</p>

<p>president. others are crap.</p>

<p>Yes, student government demonstrates leadership. And no, you don't only have to be president for it to matter. NHS is National Honors Society, which is something different and equally important.</p>

<p>Both student government and National Honor Society can be labelled as ECs in your application. And it isn't all about president.</p>

<p>ook. but isn't NHS just like a norm? is participating in Student Gov't the same prestige as NHS?</p>

<p>I hate people being president for EC's.</p>

<p>I dont do anything tho.</p>
