What is a good way to go into college knowing the activities you would like to be involved in, all the while having an idea of your limits as a first year student?

I am a very involved high school student and am planning on continuing this trend in college. Is there a #limit ? How can #involvedstudents know their limit with #collegeactivities ?

If the major that is related to your dream job is not available at your college, how would you suggest to include these studies into your college career?

I'm interested in following a path of #disabilitystudies and #law. However, most colleges in my state do not offer disability studies course. Do you have any advice on how to incorporate this into my studies?

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.
