Epitome of "average good student at a public school" applying to LACs + Ivies pls help

Thanks very much! To clarify, I’m more interested in academic politics and political theory (which isn’t super well paying as far as I know). I’m not planning on getting super involved in political campaigns (though maybe I will who knows). I more so just want to take some politics classes and maybe minor in at at undergrad. I think some level of knowledge in politics is very important for econ, so thats why its there.
