Since there’s been a lot of talk about Student Council presidents, I’ll just share a story of a girl I know that was our school’s president. She was the greatest president the school had ever seen: she organized a valley-wide senior center event that raised over $100,000, she spent over 3 hours after school every day in order to get everything done, she organized a valley youth day where elementary school kids came to our school for leadership activities, she got celebrities to come to our school for homecoming because she knew what students wanted, and MUCH more. She didn’t get in to UCSB for business. She had about a 3.9 weighted GPA and a 1890 SAT.
