I tried Googling this and all I received in return was a bunch of arguments on College Confidential. Feh

Not really, unless it's directly applicable to your major (president of your major's society, for example, or volunteering in an area closely related to your field) or apparently if you're applying for student affairs. They don't really care if you're well-rounded anymore.

If you're applying for student affairs, yes. I spent too much time "getting involved on campus" as an undergrad and too little time in the lab, so graduate school in student affairs was the only option I really had at that point. At least my involvement mattered then.

as others have mentioned, think a difference if its related to your major - ex: i did debate in college so for grad school i apply for assistant debate coach positions when applying to grad programs.

idk, i dont think it has much weight, but i feel like if there were two applicants with similar backgrounds, hopefully it would be an advantage over the other person that you were involved.

if it's a leadership position or a government/committee position you can put it under your cv under "Service" but I wouldn't mention it elsewhere on your application.
