What specific extracurriculars would be good for a someone planning on majoring in Political Science?
Answered

Currently I'm in model UN, debate, student government, Science Olympiad, marching band, and Boy Scouts. I'm busy from September to October but I have nothing for the rest of the year. My goal is to study political science at Duke University. I have all A's and I'm entering into the IB program next year but I still want to be competitive. What clubs, programs, or extracurriculars should I do?

Maybe check out Boys State? I don't know much about it but it could be a good summer opportunity and goes along with political science.
