My personal view is that the experience of the kid who started the hip hop club is irrelevant to the original poster. She had an extraordinary talent, first of all. Second, she started a club out of genuine passion, not a plan to start a random club to get into college. Clearly she was a dynamic leader since 40 kids joined, and that personal quality would have come through in recommendations. Finally, we can imagine that she danced outside of school, perhaps in summer programs or in a company of some sort.

If you don’t even know what club to start, there is no point in doing it.

I know several kids who went to Ivies or MIT and none of them started a club at school and I don’t think they even participated in clubs at school. Generally speaking they were outstanding in something outside of school.
