An internship/research is good if you do them in areas of personal interest to you. There is a link to a powerpoint presentation identifying the various programs - see http://saratogascience.■■■■■■■■■■/summer-programs.html. I would pursue EC’s that provide you deeper involvement in your areas of interest. For example, if you are into comp sci, participate in hackathons. If you are into engineering, participate in robotics. The answer to recommending EC’s will vary depending on your interests.
