Peak leadership year

Overview

Junior year is when colleges expect to see you stepping into meaningful leadership roles. This doesn't always mean a formal title — it means making an impact!

What Leadership Looks Like

• Holding officer positions (President, VP, Captain, Editor)
• Organizing events or initiatives
• Mentoring younger members
• Starting something new that fills a need

Quality Over Quantity

Admissions officers prefer seeing depth in 2-3 activities over surface-level involvement in many. Ask yourself: "What would be different about this organization if I weren't involved?"

Document Your Impact

Keep track of specific achievements with numbers:

• "Increased membership by 40%"
• "Raised $2,500 for local charity"
• "Organized event with 200 attendees"
• "Mentored 8 new members"

Encouraging Reminder

Leadership isn't about having the fanciest title — it's about making things happen and helping others succeed. Your unique contributions matter!
