Anyone else sick of this?

Colleges KNOW how to tell the difference. Much of it can be garnered JUST from the application. Does this applicant have NO leadership positions until senior year, then they have 3? Was he/she in this club all 4 years? Do their short answer questions mention this club? Because they should, if this is the one in which they’re truly passionate. It should speak of the efforts the club has put forth - and there should be measurable results. People who lie/cheat WILL succeed sometimes. But, not always. Just do what you do and your passion will show. ALL the colleges tout this. OP - I assume you’re gonna have band, marching band, jazz band, pep band, etc (with that screenname, anyway). Maybe you have “outstanding bandsman” awards or “section leader” roles.

Good luck to y’all.
