Answered

I'm reaching out because I have a strong interest in pursuing studies in psychology and Environmental Science and Public Policy. As I prepare for the college application process, I understand the importance of extracurricular activities in demonstrating my commitment and passion for these fields. However, I'm seeking guidance on which specific extracurriculars would best complement my academic interests and enhance my application. Any recommendations or insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

That's neat, I'm also pursuing Environmental Policy! There are many things that would benefit you in enhancing your application. If you wanted to go all out, you could pursue a passion project while you're in high school. Let's say you wanted to have an impact at your school - maybe you want to advocate for on-site composting, have your school install solar panels, or even go carbon-neutral. Doing this will show your commitment towards sustainability and will showcase your passion for the environment. Some less tougher things include working an environmental internship or participating in clubs. I wish I could've done more out of the things I included, but I built a strong application that got me into a great school nevertheless so don't stress too much about it. I wish you well.
