You’re wrong. Colleges love to see students working. You’re shadowing and volunteering. This seems like a jam packed summer schedule already. You do not need more stuff to do this summer. You don’t need to do expensive stuff this summer. If keeping busy is the goal, just do more of the things you’ve already done. If you want to do lab work and have a chance to do it, go for it. I don’t think Columbia’s program is more helpful than the stuff you’re already doing.
