too-late?

Last minute EC's

Hi, I'm currently a Junior and I intend on pursuing a major in international relations. I have decent EC's however most of them are music related. Are there any EC's I could start that are more related to my intended major that would actually have an impact on my application?

I would recommend going Student Council. And if possible try making a non-profit or starting a club as a leader. Leadership roles tend to look really good for majors like these

I want to major in political science and international relations too, and I'm in the student council, which my counselor said looks super good. I'm also in the Red Cross Club.

Model UN or a debate club would look good. Also joining a student council or student cabinet for your school could have a positive impact.

if your school has a model UN club, give it a shot 100%!
