Depends.
If the Ivy League course will be filled with High Schoolers (i.e. pay for an A), than its only sort of worth it.
If the internship is you canvasing and being a gopher (i.e. “go for this,” “go for that”), than its not very valuable either.

If the Ivy League course will be you and a bunch of grad and undergrads, and you can get to know the professor and get a LoR, than maybe it is worth it.
If interning with your congressman will allow you to get a LoR from Chuck Schumer, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, or like famous people, than you would be dense not to do it.

If you can manage both, do both. Just recall that its better to do one thing well than half-*** two things.
