| Think of what you're actually going to be accomplishing as leader in each of those clubs. Colleges honestly won't care if you're president if that requires little more effort than a regular member. Maybe pick two, other than the one you're founding and the one you're a state leader in, and try to establish those within your school. Always work on bringing things to the next level--organize fundraisers, promote awareness for causes, enter club competitions (like, if you're president of French club, try having a French bake sale and donating the prize to the French unemployed, or have some of your more talented members sit for the National French Exam). Try to be a part of something substantial.
Also, remember that it's okay to recognize your personal limit. If academics at your school are truly challenging, you really can't be a part of that many clubs. And feel free to just be a member if your presidency is negotiable. When I saw "five clubs, plus yaddayaddayadda," I had my doubts about your commitment level. Colleges will, too. |
