<p>So I have this friend whose grades are average, with C's and mostly B's, and maybe even 1 or 2 A's. Anyway, this year, she's been getting lots of leadership roles in clubs. She became president of one (by raising her hand, playing rock-paper-scissors shoot, and then kicking the president out), and VP of another (after asking her best friend, the prez, for the president spot; the prez denied and gave her VP instead).
I'm just a bit annoyed at how she's trying to get so many leadership roles, and then not even doing much. Either that, or she makes a club crap. And she still tried to get another leadership role (I created a club which she wanted to be the founder & VP of).
So what's your view on doing this?
Do club leadership positions compensate for average scores?</p>
<p>nahh they definitely don’t compensate for average grades, especially of they’re just school clubs. i think colleges look at grades first and then just use your extracurriculars as insight to what you’re interested in and how active you are in that commitment.</p>
<p>School clubs are so run of the mill that no one cares. All my extracurriculars, excluding Swimming and Jazz Ensemble, I do individually. I didn’t even apply for NHS because they accept people at my school who have been arrested for drug possession and use.</p>
