<p>I would think it is highly regarded-only one person gets to be president from a class a year-pretty impressive. Sadly though, I do believe it may be somewhat skewed or unfair to others. Those of us who run for offices but lose to lesser qualified people due to popularity are ..for lack of better words...screwed. By lesser qualified...I mean treasureres who somehow put us in a deficit after a year...presidents who do not contribute to class activities such as float building for homecoming but take credit for it anyway.</p>
<p>No consolation or even anywhere on apps are us "losers" permitted to say we ran but lost...</p>
<p>Anyways-I'm not trying to take anything from you being president...your presence on this message board alone is a pretty good indicator you sincerely care about your position and your job-kudos. </p>
<p>In a nutshell, yes I do believe colleges would be impressed by student body presidents.</p>
