Which colleges love leadership experience and dedicated EC's?

<p>My GPA is pretty good considering the school I go to, but it's not GREAT. My school despises giving out perfect 4.0's in any class, so getting anything close to that is near impossible when considering unweighted.</p>

<p>But I have a lot of EC's I showed passion and dedication to, not just some random club that I founded and gave everybody an officer position but truly "did nothing" (my school is full of these clubs lol). Additionally, I have a lot of leadership experience, leading groups of up to 300 people.</p>

<p>Which colleges really eat that stuff up and easily let it forgive a not-too-stellar GPA?</p>

<p>I know Emerson does, but my parents won't let me go there. xD</p>

<p>I know Claremont McKenna really focuses on leadership.</p>

<p>^I would recommend CMC, but I don’t know how strong your academics actually are.</p>

<p>Are you a 3.1 student who doesn’t think they have what it takes or a 3.8 student who is worrying irrationally that their record sucks?</p>

<p>Smack in the middle. 3.6, rounded a tad up. Neither a place to be really worrying, nor a place to feel secure :/</p>

<p>If it helps, all classes I have are IB and my school is known for grading harshly.</p>

<p>Leadership is stupid at my school; half of the “leaders” at clubs are just “leaders” for college apps, not because they actually lead. Infact, they do NOTHING for the clubs, but colleges won’t see a difference between them and a person that actually leads beacuse the college app is so superficial. It’s not like they will interview club members. And guess where those people go to college, HYPSMC.!!!</p>

<p>Like George Bush. They are really incompatent.</p>

<p>When you attach your resume you can explain all the things you did and it’d become really obvious that you actually worked hard and had a passion, rather than those that will just say “President” with no explanation of how they worked for the community. There IS a difference.</p>
