Co-president Versus President

Applying to College

<p>this is what I think, </p>

<p>As long as the other “co-” people dont mind and u all agree not to put co-, there shouldnt be a problem. But it is REALLY important that all of the co-'s dont put co- because if one of the co-'s puts co- and the other co- doesnt put co- then it looks odd. How could there be a president and co-president… get it?</p>

<p>^I would be surprised if colleges would notice such a thing, I can’t really see them putting the applications like side by side, but who knows.</p>

23

<p>yeah, but if you don’t put “co-” you are implying that you are the only one and that you did all the work by yourself, which isn’t true!</p>

<p>^spoken by the little voice inside of me that wants to the right thing. Damn my moral goodness.</p>

24

<p>But why can’t u all be presidents? “Yea, I am president. I am president with him too.”</p>

<p>president or co-president don’t matter. what matters is who did what.</p>

<p>Columbia reviews applications from the same high school/area to compare how applicants made the best of their opportunities.</p>

<p>Clearly, this isn’t a black-and-white issue. If you feel that putting Co- would make you a more ethical and spiritually fulfilled person, go ahead and do it. If not, then don’t. If you just want to play it safe, but Co-. There’s no argument against it, just better argumings for nto putting Co- - but better arguments against it, too.</p>

<p>I don’t see how putting one over the other would make a difference. If anything, I think, co-president would certainly look better than president since it shows you have the ability to cooperate with other leaders and work together for a common purpose. Sheesh, don’t be a prestige hogger!</p>

<p>Nowadays, as everyone has leadership positions in hundreds of clubs, leadership in that sense is becoming less important. Unique leadership, leadership of a large club, or leadership of a competitive club(Prez of a varsity math team at a good school) is what they are looking for. Sorry but being prez of 10 clubs with names like assistive tech and james bond club don’t cut it.</p>
