<p>What I mean is I have a regular job during school days and I’ve decided to pursue internships during the summer.</p>
<p>Is it better to go back and work for the same company I’m working right now next summer or is it more beneficial if I try for an internship at a different organisation?</p>
<p>I’m also seeking personal growth so I’m really torn as Variability would expose me to different working cultures etc.</p>
<p>The same goes for ECs (Leadership positions specifically). Going into my Sophomore Year I’ll have a Leadership position in the SGA, is it better to reapply for the same thing next year or should I apply for a different one?</p>
<p>You’ve just finished your HS freshman year and you’re asking questions that an MBA candidate might mouth. Really, it’s six and one-half dozen. The “same company” thing will only mean “this person as decent work experience” – not “this person is a fly by night employee – do I want to chance it with him/her?” They are looking to admit college freshmen, not hire employees.</p>
<p>Working cultures? Most of your peers are HAPPY to work at McDs. And that’s not a bad thing in the eyes of admissions officers. You’re very fortunate. Enjoy and not worry about this item so much. </p>
<p>Good luck to you and have a great final three years in HS.</p>
<p>^ I work during school days if you’re suggesting I’m some Sub-Urban Rich Kid. I really want to know because it won’t matter. It’s policy research anyways, I don’t know if I should go back to the same place or try working on Capitol Hill. It’s really a serious question.</p>
<p>Thing is there are several other places out there for me to do policy research, so would changing workplaces have any effect? Again with SGA I wouldn’t mind trying out new things…</p>
<p>It’s not like I’m asking “Which looks better SGA or Model UN?”, these are the things I love. How do college adcoms look at both patterns (consistency and variability)</p>
<p>To be honest, I don’t think colleges care how often you change your workplace as a freshman, neither do they care whether you change leadership positions within a club.</p>
<p>Maybe consistency, joining a million clubs is probably going to look as resume padding. In the same manner I assume so will leadership positions and changing workplaces!</p>
