<p>My main summer activity was this cultural summer abroad trip for like two weeks that I did for the third year in a row. Other than that it was a political campaign internship. My STEM activities on my application weren’t as high as those of some other applicants, but I feel like my wider variety of interests and how I did stuff with them got me in (I did do math competitions and Math/Science honor societies and related volunteer work. Nothing overly elaborate however.)</p>
<p>I was strongly considering doing a summer STEM program but when MITES rejected me there were few last minute opportunities remaining, and many were simply too costly.</p>
