Preparing for Junior Year

Hey guys! So I'm starting my Junior year soon, and I really want to go to a good university/college. I actually live in Canada, so I'm thinking of applying to a school here in Canada called Carleton University, or Queens University. Both of those schools like to see good grades and a lot of participation in clubs and community events. I have good grades, but I don't really participate in community events or clubs. Let me know what you guys think I should do about clubs and events or even just advice for junior year!

I would say definitely join some sort of club, even if it's something simple, for both junior and senior year just to show your commitment and ability to work. If possible getting leadership roles in those clubs is also really helpful as leadership is a big help with college applications. Overall though just have fun this year, and when you start applying to college put a lot of effort into your essay/personal statements as those help a lot. Good luck!!!
