extracurriculars and community colleges for political science Answered
currently, in my junior year with a 2.07 GPA, I plan to apply to community college to fix that. what I am currently looking for help with is finding extracurriculars that I can join this coming summer to reflect on my interest in political science and public policy. Is there any recommendation for what sorts of activities I can join that will help me stand out in admissions for a political science major, and is there any recommendations I can get for colleges that will help me raise my GPA and are a good choice for a future political science major?

That is great that you are working hard to reach your goal, for activities I would say volunteer work at your school this summer or you can check in with your guidance counselor about summer debating clubs, and since you are a junior you still have time to take some AP classes next year or work hard by the end of this month to pass your exams and get a good grade so you can get honors classes next year, colleges want to see that you have a life outside of school but they also want to see that you are able to be academically challenged, as a junior myself I would like to say keep looking at the life you would want for yourself.
This CollegeVine blog post has some suggestions for activities related to political science. As for community colleges, I recommend going to one that is both low-cost and is in an area that has political jobs and internships. Hope this helps!
