Do you have to have an officer spot for clubs / position for leadership for your class to get into a college?

Question

like some people have leadership positions for example like.. class representative or club representative.. how better chance do they have than i do for getting into a college like UC san diego, LA etc. and do freshman year gpa count? because my freshman year i had a 3.13 and from sophomore i started to get like 3.75-3.9. i had orchestra for 4 years and.. track for 3 years.

Answer 1

You don't need to rule the club for it to look good on your application if you participated, that's plenty enough to play in your favor.

Yes, frosh grades matter, but improvement counts for a lot. They'll see you got better with time and favor that (as opposed to seeing a decline in grades from frosh to sr. yr).

Track and music are good to list.

But if you grades are unweighted, you might still have trouble depending on the program you want to do. I applied to UCSD with a 4.3 GPA back in 1998. i got in easily -- I had great SAT and ACT scores to back me up.

If you don't have enough AP and Honors cred or test scores, don't apply as a bio major to Revelle. You won't make it. Instead, try an "easier" college like John Muir, Eleanor Roosevelt, or 6th College.

Answer 2

Your admittance is based mostly on you GPA. I know it helps to be involved in organizations, but being an officer or official isn't necessary. Just so long as you didn't take a whole slew of blow off courses, like phys ed for 4 years, you should be ok. But then again if your major is something like physical therapy, phys ed for 4 years won't look like blow off classes. So really your area of study as well as your grades is what matters the most.

Answer 3

you have stable opportunities. (what variety of scale is your GPA?) the substantial factor is the essay, in the event that they such as you. It should not be something that in basic terms lists all the activities you probably did. that could get you into Harvard or Yale yet NYU is an extremely distinctive college. in case you do a school bypass to you will see that. Admissions continually emphasize how they seek for people who would slot in at NYU, there are various those with stunning grades that get rejected becaue they don't fit in, and others wih grades that are way below easy, yet you could tell via the essay that they don't belong everywhere else. I could desire to point the corporation and appearing are the toughest majors to get into. *i don't understand if that's applicable to different colleges. I jsut undergo in concepts that at orientation they pronounced they assume us to extra wholesome in considering that grew to become into substantial to their selection technique. NYU additionally continually talks approximately how they seem to be a "examine college" so if in any respect available artwork that into your application which you particularly elect to do substantial examine mutually as in college.
