<p>I’ve heard of RSI and TASP but can any one enumerate more programs. </p>
<p>I want to pursue Polit. Sci. (To later become a lawyer)
I’m part of the Forensics Society (Congress and Parliament)
I’m part of the debate program
4.7 GPA 4 APs 2 Honors</p>
<p>I need to challenge myself but also look good for colleges (as superficial as that sounds)</p>
<p>Please help</p>
<p>There’s actually a section under “pre-college issues” dedicated just for summer programs. There’s even a thread talking about prestigious programs

Good luck!</p>
<p>If you can, then I think you should try to get an internship at a law firm. It might be a bit difficult, but definitely ask around if you know anyone or have any connections. A real experience like that will not only look really good on your college app, but it will also help you. This past summer I interned a biomedical research company and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I not only learned so much, but I met so many great people and got a taste of what it would be like working in that field. Plus, I got paid ;)</p>
<p>RSI, TASP, SSP, CCIS, MITES…</p>
<p>but the one that is right up there in terms of prestige that EVERYONE forgets is the LEAD Summer Business Institute.</p>
<p>Sponsored by the biggest companies (State Street, Goldman Sachs, Google, Cisco…on and on and on) and very well-funded. It costs 1000 per student, but they expend about 5000 over the three weeks.</p>
<p>And yes, I went.</p>
