I say…DO WHAT YOU ARE!

Because…the most prestigious ones are probably not suited to your interested and/or impossible to get in.

I was like you … about 3 days ago. Then friendlies here changed my mind xD. Now I’m considering a science internship and hopefully, if I can fit in, a debate camp.

Internships show that you’ve got good experience. It doesn’t matter if it’s a prestigious internship or a not so prestigious internship – you’ve got the experience! – Correct me if this is wrong

The camp is for boosting my skill only – and this hopefully will reflect in my NEXT year’s progress, which will also be “good under the eyes of ivies”

So if you think about it, you’re really looking for EFFECTIVE IN THE LONG RUN.

Here’s a list to get you started:

PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST OTHER “PRESTIGIOUS” BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY >EFFECTIVE< SUMMER CAMPS IN MATH AND SCIENCE THAT YOU’VE EXPERIENCED THANKS

Yea. Hope I’ve helped, but I’m sure looking at what others there might be! Then I’ll start app-filling.
