Hey everyone, I recently got selected as a Junior Marshal for my school. I'm not sure how big of an accomplishment this is, and I'm wondering if I should include it on my college applications. Thoughts?
Congratulations on being selected as a Junior Marshal! It's a recognition of your academic achievements and leadership abilities, and you should definitely include it in your college applications. Even if it's not as prestigious as some other extracurriculars or honors, it still demonstrates your involvement in and commitment to your school community.
As you'll typically have spots for up to 10 activities in most college applications, you'll want to prioritize your most significant activities and accomplishments. However, if you have room and don't feel that including it would detract from the impact of your other achievements, it's worth listing it. In the description, you might want to explain your responsibilities and accomplishments as a Junior Marshal, emphasizing any leadership roles or unique opportunities that came with the position.
Remember, colleges value a diverse range of extracurricular activities that show your interests and dedication to various areas. Including your role as a Junior Marshal can help paint a more complete picture of your high school experience.
