<p>For someone going into econ, poli sci, intl develop related areas, can you suggest any good clubs to participate in?</p>
<p>How difficult is it to manage a club or two, a 3.7+ gpa, play an intramural/lift weights, and have a social life?</p>
<p>I’m looking at the same majors you are, and I’m definitely hoping to continue from high school with model un and/or debate. </p>
<p>McGill has mcmun, which is great from what I hear, for both travel conferences and the ones they host. (uber excited) [McGill</a> Model United Nations - McGill Model United Nations](<a href=“http://www.mcmun.org/2011/]McGill”>http://www.mcmun.org/2011/)</p>

<p>I don’t think though that you should chose clubs based just on your major. Do what you like to do, the same things you liked to do in high school?</p>
<p>thanks for pointing those out. what I didn’t do a lot of in high school was entrepreneurship/econ related competitions/organizations.</p>
<p>What does McGill offer in terms of these?</p>
<p>Also, do a lot of kids participate in many clubs or is it principally one or two? For grad school and fellowship applications, is it necessary to have leadership in many clubs?</p>
<p>For grad school, depending on what field you want, I would offer these tips:
- Take on extracurricular activities you love and enjoy
- If you can, find ones that involve the following: research, writing, communication, leadership
- A good example would be writing or editing for a student journal (e.g. an undergrad journal in your department)
- Hone your languages - take advantage of the French environment in Montreal to study and practice
