<p>I am Vice president (11) –> President (12) of Business club (one of four clubs that I am in). Will this lack of leadership hurt me?</p>
<p>possibly (10 char)</p>
<p>does the importance for admission of EC level of involvement vary across schools, or does NU require similar levels of EC involvement for all of it schools? I am thinking in particular of Maccormick ENG.</p>
<p>I can’t answer your question directly because I’m not an admissions officer and I don’t know the rest of your application. BUT, if you’re worried about not having enough leadership positions, could you spin any of your other ECs in a way that shows leadership in general? For example, I technically held only one leadership position during high school, but I talked about how I had also learned leadership skills in Link Crew and NHS in my essays/supplements.</p>
<p>Just something to think about.</p>
<p>Good luck! I definitely wouldn’t let this stop you from applying, btw, because it might not even be a big deal in the context of the rest of your app.</p>
<p>what if I have a high uw gpa, high class rank, good sat, State/National awards, and tons of community service? Will this still hurt me, or will everything balance out.</p>
<p>x, will WHAT hurt you? looks like you got all three elements of the app, grades, scores, and ECs. Is NU a college or a finishing school?</p>
<p>Having leadership positions help but they are not really expecting all that. Otherwise, NU wouldn’t have “Undergrad Leadership Program”. You are applying to colleges, not executive MBA programs.</p>
<p>Oh okay, I just hopee that a good and challenging academic background with being involved passionately in a few clubs and tons of community service is enough, because that is basically my app. Im doing very few things but I have stuck with them since freshman year and have done them consistently.</p>
