Which summer program should I choose in international relations and diplomacy?

My recommendation for this summer would be to enroll in an intensive, selective summer language program such as Middlebury’s, then next year apply to an NSLY-I program. The NSLI-Y programs are free but highly selective so you want to show that you’re a “good investment” for the government. Russian, Chinese, Arabic… Are possible.
A fee charging program wouldn’t matter for colleges and summer after freshman year is too early to do anything of significance wrt college. Summer after Sophomore and Junior years are the most important.
Another option is to spend junior year abroad. Again, you need a high level of linguistic fluency.
Btw, try to find the thread here “should 4 brother’s apply to the same university” .
