If I am interested in becoming an attorney in public-policy making, would it be to my advantage to take off a semester during the 2020 Presidential Elections to work for a viable candidate so I would have that experience on my resume?

I am going to college to study law, specifically to become an attorney in public-policy making. What would be the best types of attorneys to job-shadow? What groups should I be involved with during college to best pad my resume for the future?

Will emailing professors at my top choice school increase my chances of being accepted?

I was advised to email the music professor who would be in charge of my studio and begin developing a relationship with him before he sees my audition because it would increase my chances of being accepted. In theory, this sounds logical, but does it work? Ethics aside.
