<p>? </p>
<p>is it?</p>
<p>Where'd you hear that it is? My impression has always been that adcoms would appreciate leadership positions in diverse areas.</p>
<p>Of course, being heavily involved in two clubs might cause your performance in one club to suffer, but that's not a conclusion that's very easily made from your application.</p>
<p>Related to this: I am a junior, and this year I am VP of Key Club. Next year I am considering running for President of Key Club, President of NHS, or VP of both. My school doesn't allow someone to be president of two major clubs, although I think that rule is fairly lax. Any opinions on what I should do?</p>
<p>I wanna be an officer in Key Club and FBLA</p>
<p>Stop asking stupid questions... this is like the third time that you've posted a question that makes no sense. You're a freshman. CHILL OUT. Being an officer of multiple clubs is by no means a bad thing, the point is to show a passion for those clubs. For example, being an officer in two clubs that are related looks very good.</p>
<p>Lithiumon. That isn't a stupid question.
It's because on the Perfect Application thing it was -2 for being an officer in two clubs</p>
<p>Plus I've posted 5 times. :p</p>
<p>LOL my mistake, I've only seen 3 of them. And it says that because its bad to be an officer in random crap. The point is not to just join things for the sake of joining, you've gotta be able to show WHY you're an officer in those clubs.</p>
<p>Because I'm caring and love helping people. (Key club)</p>
<p>Because I'm passionate about business. (FBLA)</p>
<p>so ha.</p>
<p>and because colleges love caring, loving people who are passioante in a subject</p>
<p>IvyLeagueFreak, I have no idea what the "Perfect Application thing" you're referring to is, but I think if you can show sustained passion for the club, then you won't be penalized for being officers in two different clubs. Of course, adcoms would probably wonder about the depth of your ECs if you became the president of six totally unrelated clubs, but if you show passion in a couple areas and develop your passion by taking on leadership roles, I can only see that as a good thing.</p>
<p>In the end, you want to communicate your passion to the adcoms, not to us. And don't let the idea of a "perfect application" outweigh your real interests because you'll just be setting yourself up for a terrible high school experience.</p>
<p>I think one of the dangers of becoming too caught up in the college admissions process way before you're actually ready is that you end up doing things solely for the benefit of college applications, and that's a big disservice to yourself.</p>
<p>I am an officer in 4 and got in lol (they were all closely related, though...ie, Debate team, Mock Trial)...as long as you're dedicated and don't have a laundry list, you're fine.<br>
Besides, there is no such thing as a perfect app. College admissions is really arbitrary, and other than a general concept of "good grades, good ECs, good recs" you don't know what, specifically, they are looking for.</p>
<p>Hey... demeter. Just if you were wondering:
"Perfect Application Thing"</p>
