computer science: internship vs research

<p>thanks for all the replies.</p>

<p>To GrassBandit, I am certainly aware of that famous pdf that talks about CS grad school admission. It places a strong emphasis on the importance of prior research experience. This is exactly what makes me wavering between these two summer options, as the one that I like is strictly not a research, and also I am pretty much determined to attend grad school after college.</p>

<p>I mean, in the pure math field, I know internships usually aren’t as useful as research in the grad school admission committee’s eye. Maybe CS is different?</p>
