<p>yeah, I know people who did the plasma physics lab… but they PAID to do it. i.e. they were not paid. and they didn’t get into any special schools, it didn’t seem like a leg up whatsoever.</p>
<p>I would definitely do Governor’s School. it’s such a good opportunity if you’re admitted. I know it may not make sense because all you have on your mind is the name “Princeton” but I think an internship only counts for so much these days. I know someone had an engineering internship at Columbia, and it got her nowhere lol. NJ Gov’s school is HUGE!</p>
