<p>How does one show a strong passion for history in highschool, especially for Yale?</p>
<p>Doing well in history classes and getting academic awards in it, getting good recs from history teachers, writing about history in essays, getting 5s on history APs</p>
<p>Any EC's? I'm starting up a history club, but beyond that, I can't think of anything. Helping a history professor at a college, maybe? I live very close to Vassar.</p>
<p>No need to go overboard...History is an academic interest after all. Do what you like. You can always write a history paper and submit it to the Concord review</p>
<p>Check out National History Day

<p>oh, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I'm a long time participant.</p>
<p>or you could intern at your local PBS / History Channel etc. etc.</p>
