Behind what appears to be sheer chaotic decision-making madness, there seems to be a trend. Those who were presidents of multiple clubs tended to be deferred at a greater rate than those who were not. Possibly, admissions officers find such a plethora of high positions indicative of a lack of focus, a lack of commitment to a single goal, a resume-building disposition, and a misunderstanding of the concept of leadership. Absolutely, I am not accusing anyone here of these faults, but such a list of high offices lends itself to such interpretation.

Nevertheless, this is just a theory, one seemingly supported by the results of this early admissions cycle. I myself did not hold the office of president in any club at my school, but merely dedicated myself to a select few (3), aiding the community while nurturing my knowledge of and passion for government. Luckily, I was accepted and expect to matriculate this fall.
