i think its better to get a 3.5 and do an internship than get a 4.0 and not do the internship.

How do you not have enough time? are you doing tons of ECs?

I don tknow, i have to have time because i need th emoney, so i just got lucky that it happend to be a paid internship. I know you go to some godly awsome school like Uchicago or something, i dont remeber which one, but i am sure the course load can not be so significantly more demanding than ucla,… so, i suggest you make time for a 10 hour internship. You can do like 5 hours monday and 5 hours firday.

Internships give you real world experience and gread refrences. grades cant speak for that, even if you come from harvard.

if you worked for 10 hours at goldman sachs while going to the city univeristy of new york, you would be more desirable to an employer than if you graduated with a 4.0 from harvard.

one student shows he has the knowledge do the work, the other shows he can do the work.

Expereince and education are not the same, you want a good blend of both.
