<p>Put this list in order of what you think looks best to a college</p>
<p>Editor-in-chief of school newspaper
Intel winner for research
Editor-in-chief of literary magazine
Editor-in-chief of yearbook
Soloist in chorus
Lead in the school play
Varsity sport captain
Organized a community service program</p>
<p>They're not my ecs I was just wondering how you would compare these</p>
<p>um… depends on how good different stuff is. for example, at my school, the yearbook is like #1 in new england but the literary magazine is not the best, but it could be opposite at a different school. same for the scope of a community service program, etc. not set in stone - but generally speaking i’d say</p>
<p>yearbook
intel
paper
lit mag
captain
community service
school play
chorus</p>
<p>but then again, it differs based on the level of intensity at different schools. the lead in a school play at a drama school obviously would be higher up than (for example) a soccer captain at that school or the lead in a play at a normal hs. so its all relative</p>
<p>Depends a lot on the college, being “Editor-in-chief” of three publications kind of makes me question the responsibilities that they entail. Are these super-coveted, sought-after positions, or did you get them just because you expressed an interest?</p>
<p>simpson, these aren’t my ecs, they’re just general ones that I was wondering about</p>
<p>Intel winner
Varsity sport captain
Editors
Organized a community service program
Soloist in chorus
Lead in the school play</p>
<p>As someone who has been in choir for a long time, a solo doesn’t mean all that much. I’ve had a few and didn’t mention them on my apps, since they don’t really involve additional work to just being in the choir.</p>
<p>Depends on the school. At my HS, yearbook is a joke, drama is pathetic, and the newspaper is weak at best. </p>
<p>I’d probably say Intel, then editor-in-chief of newspaper, then organizing community service, then varsity sport captain.</p>
<p>varsity sport captain is a pretty big responsibility. Doing varsity sports in general is very highly regarded.</p>
<p>At our school, a student who was far below regular Harvard standards (by A LOT) got into Harvard because he was captain of our very good football team :D</p>
<p>IMO:
Siemens winner
Intel winner
Varsity sport captain
Editors
Organized a community service program
Lead in the school play
Soloist in chorus</p>
<p>With organized a community service program potentially as high as the Intel stuff depending on what that means-- did you run a blood drive once at your school or did you start a major, on going project kind of thing…</p>
<p>YMMV</p>
<p>I’m biased about Siemens-- it’s typically the same level as Intel, but I personally hold it in higher regard, not because of my participation, but because of their methodology (only reviewing your research, not all that other info about you).</p>
