I think it seems like a great opportunity and if it interests you, go for it. Economics IS math based to some extent, so of course it could help. My philosophy is, anything that shows you go above and beyond can help you.

I attended the Westinghouse Science Honors Institute in my junior year, which consisted of science lectures on Saturday mornings from October to February. I’m going into international relations…I never intended to anything science-y. I just found it interesting, so I did it (and we got free food LOL).

Your essays shouldn’t be something you agonize over, either. Yes, you should work on them and perfect them, but they should also reflect your personal voice which should come from you naturally. Don’t try to make them perfect, try to make them yours. Your genuine voice is what makes it a great essay, not being immaculate and tear-jerking.
