<p>I'm not a math/science person</p>
<p>I was hoping for any advice on an EC's I could do now( second semester Junior year) and any awards I could apply for that would improve my chances of getting into Columbia and other top tier schools. I know it's really hard but does any one have any suggestions?</p>
<p>My interests include: international relations, politics, global poverty, languages, economics- is there any research I could do that's economic or international relations related? How could I go about doing this and where do people get things published?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
