I am a current freshman in high school and I鈥檓 participating in clubs like HOSA, FBLA, Model UN, beta club, and tri-m honors society. I want to join national honors society next year and I wany to get into a prestigious university, so I want to make the most out of these extracurriculars before I apply to college.
Would Model UN be more ideal for pursuing a career in medicine or FBLA? Model UN has public health committees and environmental committees and more frequent conferences which I like, but FBLA has career, presentational, and health events too for conferences. They鈥檙e both competition based clubs which I want to work in besides HOSA. I want to be in enough clubs to show leadership and dedication in each one but I don鈥檛 want to overwhelm myself, so I want to get rid of one so I can make space for national honors society next year. Which should I choose?
Hi, Eva!
The answer really depends on what would help you more. In my opinion, FBLA would help you a bit more since it has more events and isn't as well known as Model UN (At least for me). While Model UN has more frequent conferences, environmental committees won't help you if you're pursuing medicine. I would get rid of Model UN but just know national honors society is really common in college apps. The best tip I have is go in clubs that BEST relate to your future career. Hope this helps!
