<p>“Typical EC’s are founding fundraisers or community service organizations–these tend to be preferred over simply advancing to a leadership position in a school club”</p>
<p>Meh… this is being done ad nauseum. Whenever someone says they started an org or ran a fundraiser, my first question is: “what did you find deficient in the clubs/charities that were already in place that didn’t meet the need?”</p>
<p>The “I started a club/charity/fundraiser” thing is quite overplayed, IMHO.</p>
