just in general, I’ve read/watched documentaries a lot and incredibly interested in economics, Israel-Palestine politics, Russian politics, astrophysics, atheism, political conflicts in Sudan and Mauritania(was wondering how I should so this, what I should get involved in to show I care about this)</p>
<p>I have a pretty good essay up my sleeve, rec’s should be good. </p>
<p>I know I lack leadership and any special EC’s, but I’m genuinely incredibly curious and striving to learn more, don’t know what to do to show on paper that I care about some of the stuff I like
I want to double major in Applied Math/Econ, or replace AppMath with interdiciplinary studie of Math/CompSci.</p>
<p>My counselor said that applying as Math major to a LAC is advantageous. </p>
