[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This doesn’t make any sense, honestly? Winning a national competition (a single student in the USA) is just one tier above president of a club? What?[/quote]

At our school, anyone can get president of the club if they really want it because not many kids want to do it. The same kid has like 4 president of this and that club because nobody wanted it. Also our clubs barely meet. [/quote]
Really selective schools are not going to care about club president unless that club does something noteworthy[/quote]

My thoughts exactly.  Nobody cares if you were president of the art national honors society.  It’s not going to make a huge difference over one kid or another.  These admissions officers aren’t stupid. [/quote]

But some things will make an impression - President of DECA is a good one. Very competitive at the large and smart publics. So too Editor in Chief of an award winning school newspaper. When there are 3000 kids at the school, some positions are extremely difficult to get. And those kids invariably go to top 20 schools.[/quote]

Also, national awards with some of the regional science clubs - American Rocketry Challenge, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Robotics. DC is a total nerd fest if you look for it. And those kids do very well at the national competitions. There are some really accomplished and passionate mentors that participate in this. It's very cool if you are nerd-inclined. [/quote]
