Do you think the HYP etc. colleges will look at an applicant and say "Great SATs, great GPA, wonderful essays, fabulous recommendations, but, no, we can't accept him. He wasn't the president of a club." ?
Admissions staff read thousands of applications, and test scores only play a part in admissions. Clubs and other ECs can show a well-rounded student, but it's quality, not quantity.
I've heard them state time and time again on visits and interviews that they would rather see a student fully committed to a few clubs or activities than have a laundry list. The admissions guys can see through this, you know. Essays and recommendations will show commitment.
