[quote=Anonymous]people have to understand that most top 20 colleges look at applications by school.

imagine the smartest, most handsome, super popular high school player deciding to run for leadership at every single club in high school school - from French club, to economics club, to debate, to beekeeping, to student government. He wins them all and takes student government.

But rule is you can only be president for one. So he takes student government.  Good for him - he got the best one at the school.

But there is no second round and now those other leaderships will be empty, where surely a kid would have one if this guy hadn't run. And now all those other kids have no chance to lead the clubs they're actually passionate about.

High schools that limit apps are saying, you can't run for ALL the positions. You can run for a few. These are tip top private schools where you have the kids and grandkids or billionaires, movie stars and the grandchildren of Princeton's former president (true). Pick your spot, it's yours. But don't hoard opportunities - it's selfish.[/quote]
