Hello, everybody. If you see this and have any advice or insight at all that would guide me, PLEASE respond below. I am currently a 2nd year student at Pasadena City College, a community college located in Southern California. My grades are great; I have a 3.9 GPA thus far. BUT the thing that I THINK is holding me back are my extra-curriculars because they are not so strong. II mean, I took on minor roles for clubs before, like public relations and fundraising coordinator. But I don't have these uber strong leadership positions, like either president or vice president. I planned on staying for a third year to do something about my extra-curriculars. I am currently running for a vice presidency spot for the student government and the president spot of my school's honors society. The problem is that this year there is A LOT of competition for these spots. I'm trying my hardest to win these spots, but I don't know if I can. So my question is: Is it bad to stay at a community college for four years just to be more involved on campus? It won't be for academic reasons, but for extra-curricular reasons. And it is that way for two reasons: 1) I genuinely want these positions before I graduate out of my community college. I want to feel good with the knowledge that I made a difference with my time at school. 2) I need an additional boost for my college apps because I personally don't think that GPA alone is good enough to get into a school of my choice. I plan on going to NYU but also UC Berkeley, by the way. Thanks for reading this long paragraph I wrote. Please offer me with whatever insight/ knowledge/ advice that you have. PLEASE. I would GREATLY appreciate it.
