<p>So I am a sophomore at an early college high school. First two years we complete all of our required HS courses, then our last two years we take any classes that we want at the partnered university. I have developed a recent interest in politics/law and I want to show my passion for it. I have emailed my local district attorney for an internship. As far as clubs, my HS does not offer that many. Of course I am part of the Math Team and Science Olympiad. I am also a part of the community service club and National Honors Society. I know that I need to show my passion through clubs, and luckily my history teacher is in the process of creating a Model UN club for next year that I will definitely be a part of. In addition, I am in the process of creating a Future Politicians club for next year. Now my question for you is when I take classes at the university, would it be better to take basic core classes, or take many classes in the Political Science department. I am taking a very high level political class next semester, along with advanced Calc (the equivalent to AP Calc AB), Chem 101, and a required seminar class. After our first semester we can take as many classes as we want and I plan on continuing with the math and chemistry, but also taking many political classes. I have already met the guidelines to take any number of classes which is just to get a 2100+ on the SAT. Can I have thoughts? How else should I show my passion? Will this help me when applying to ivies/Stanford (I have a 3.97 UW GPA, and ranked 1st in the class). I do a lot of community service (around 200 hrs a year), but it does not have anything to do with politics. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
