You know, I agree with the poster above me. I had given up my summer of junior year in order to go to work with a MIT professor to work on a research project that I would probably not go into in the future at a Harvard Medical School hospital. But I did it for reserach experience as well to get to know Boston area. I didn’t want to stay home for the summer doing nothing…but I got paid from this internship. In the end, I was admitted to MIT early action. But I don’t want to come off as an impression that I’m just doing it for college admissions. No, I did this internship so I can gain reserach experience before going to college and to explore a potential field.

So, do it if you can find some money to go to California and a place to stay.
