I’m currently a junior who is thinking of applying ED for the class of 2017 and I’m looking for meaningful summer programs to do over the summer. I know NU has a summer program but the deadline is too soon and it really expensive! I don’t think I can attend the program but instead I was thinking of visiting and maybe interviewing later on to show my interest in the school. Would this make up for not attending the summer program and convey my strong interest? I really need advice on what to do over the summer because I would like to show NU impressive summer activities. I was thinking of attending St. Albans School of Public Service summer program which is a program in DC that allows kids to see the inside workings of public policy making and volunteering oversees teaching underprivileged children English. i know the whole point of summer programs is to open your horizons and provide you with meaningful experiences and I feel these two activities will help me for the path I would like to go on… public policy. I am interested in law and would like to either major in poli sci or economics ( i heard pre law is a joke major is this true in NU too?)
