I hope to be accepted to a prestigious university such as Penn, John Hopkins, Columbia, or Stanford(my first choice). I studied abroad for a summer in France, worked for a year, been in french club and ski club for four years, played piano for 12 years, mentored kids for 2 years, volunteered at a hospital for a year, and accumulated plenty of other volunteer hours. I have a 4.0 unweighted gpa with all advanced classes. However, my counselor says the lack of leadership (ivy leagues want students who were the president of a club) could kill me in the admissions process. Is this true, do I still have a chance? Also, isn't a job and mentoring just like a leader? Please help me with this leadership thing, will it really kill me?
