I’m officially volunteering for a political campaign this year. Should I mention this on my college app? What if the adcoms reject me because of my political views? Could I mention that I volunteered for a Senate campaign on my college app without mentioning the name or the party of the candidate I volunteered for? Thanks!
It will not be a negative on your app. I’d do what you said: just say volunteered for a Senate campaign without mentioning the name or party of the candidate.
It will be a very interesting addition to your app- being politically aware is generally seen as a plus, since it shows initiative etc. Maybe just don’t mention the party, like suzy100 said, in case an admissions officer leans the other way really strongly.
