What category is my EC on Collegevine?
Answered

So as part of my youth groups (synoguage) student board we organized and ran a fairly large carnival for a holiday. Our synoguage is one of 4-5 in the state and the only of our denomination. (The carnival was held for the religious school (K-6)

We raised over 15k and organized vendors and did all of the prize stuff not just set up tables and games.

I had put it as Interest Group tier D as it says I organized a city event or conference for interest. My problem is I think that tier D is too high but a Service tier H which I have it at is IMO too low and is understating my accompishments while the only other field I think of affinity groups F is school-level leadership while D is a statewide organization and this is a local org as it is a congregation. I am currently leaning towards Affinity F but I want to double check.

Affinity tier F or Community Service tier F seem like they might fit best. Group tier D does seem like a much bigger type of event. Keep in mind that this is just for the chancing engine, and that different admissions officers might evaluate the same activity differently. Be sure to quantify the activity as much as possible in the Activities Section and list how much money you raised (like you did here), estimated number of attendees, and what your responsibilities were. Good luck!

So I got numbers back and we had 100 attendees and I was trying to fine tune my numbers as some of them I am questioning the accuracy for some and was trying to make sure mine were accurate

Why don't you try own initiative tier? If you can measure how many participants participated in the carnival? Organizing a carnival is an amazing accomplishment which requires drive, maturity, commitment, time management, responsibility, and so many other characteristics. I would probably put it in Tier C or Tier B.

The thing is I am not the board president merely a board member so it is not really my own intuitive. Also I don’t get anything out of it as I’m not paid and a lot of the big ticket items such as buying materials the raffle renting a bounce house etc were done by our youth advisor who just graduated college and I had nothing to do that.
