I am a junior aiming for top tier schools. I am starting to think of things to do next summer already. I am not completely sure about major but will probably apply as an econ major. My other choices would be political science or CS. My activities are not very focused in one area of interest but 3 general ones (sport, volunteering, academic clubs). I play a varsity sport, hold high positions in several (3) community service/volunteer related organizations, VP of a business related club, and also do Model UN.
I want to gain experience in econ/business but I can’t think of anything I can do over the summer (in my area).
NC Governor’s school is one option but the subjects do not interest me that much. I would be doing social science and since it is basically school over the summer, I am skeptical.
I can try applying for NC Summer Ventures which would consist of me learning about CS and doing research.
I could just get a job. (I already plan on doing this no matter if I do any other activities)
I will be doing soccer, volunteering (tutor maybe), and working so its not like I have nothing to do but I think I might need something extra to boost my profile and show my interest.
