<p>For the section where we have to describe a school/summer activity, is it important that the activity we choose to write about relates to our major? or it doesn't really matter</p>
<p>Obviously that depends on the school. If you're applying to a major, it would matter more. That doesn't happen at most schools.</p>
<p>what if its the UC's, Georgetown, Chicago, and Stanford as IR/econ major</p>
<p>No, I don't think it depends on the school.
It's preferable if it pertains to your major, but if it's something else, it doesn't matter.
An activity is what you enjoy doing, and usually you enjoy doing what you plan to do in the future.</p>
<p>It should be the activity you're most passionate about.</p>
