Which type of scientific summer activity looks better?

Pre-College Topics Summer Programs

<p>I first want to just say I’m applying to summer programs based on personal interest rather than prestige, but I still am wondering how the following types of programs look in the eyes of admission committees:</p>

<p>A) Individual lab/research internship for high school students
B) Group lab/research internship for high school and undergraduate students
C) Group academic programs (e.g. SSP)
D) Local community college courses
E) University courses</p>

<p>Just wondering…</p>

<p>My opinion

  1. C, or something equally or more prestigious like RSI, anything lower is not too valuable on apps.
  2. B
  3. A
  4. E
  5. D, I don’t know about your CC, but at my local one the classes are by far way easier than an honors course at my high school.</p>

The rest of these are about the same, so don’t pay much attention to the rankings.
2. A or B
3. D or E
4. SSP</p>
