<p>Do things that show leadership that don’t need a "title’
A few years ago, my son at the time a sophomore on varsity (ie., far from a team captain!) organized the guys to challenge the girls’ team in a Race for the Cure marathon established the previous year by a girl whose mom was battling breast cancer. They competed on # of kids involved, # of laps completed, total distance walked and $$ raised. The next year, he and that girl challenged other school organizations to get involved, and his senior year they challenged other schools!</p>
<p>He was very involved in his Jewish youth group…he called youth groups of other faiths, including Muslim, and set up a summer bowling league.</p>
<p>Believe me this looks a lot more impressive than an officer in French Club or MUN on an application.</p>
<p>What would you like to do…what interests YOU? Do something with your interest, take it to the next level, and your application will take care of itself.</p>
