<p>My vote would be for Rose-Hulman. Agree with iceui2 that NSLC won’t really boost your resume at all. Since the U of I program is only a week and not very in-depth, I think Rose-Hulman is a better option. I disagree with your assessment, I think within the academic community Rose-Hulman is pretty well known. And if it gives you insight into engineering careers, that is very worthwhile as well. It will make your college search (and essays) a lot easier if you know for sure that you want to be an engineer!</p>
