<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I came around several internships via personal connections at various prestigious universities (including one top 10 ivy!). </p>
<p>I was planning on doing a triple internship with (2 research + 1 civic) during the summer. Two of these would be almost completely unique. </p>
<p>How would they look for college? Worth it?</p>
<p>Previously I saw a rating scale for the prestige of an EC from 10 (RSI, IMO) to 1 (who's who). How would these three rate?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Also, how would an internship at a top wall street corporation, designed for graduate students look?</p>
<p>Sounds good to me.</p>
<p>Want to share?</p>
<p>
A better question is “how would they look for you?”</p>
<p>You do internships to boost chances at college now, you get into a top college. Cool. Then you start doing internships in college to get a good job, and you get into a high paying job. Cool. Then you start working your butt off to get promoted, which you do. Cool. Soon you’re a top executive. Awesome! Yeah, until you realize you’re in a job you hate, because you never took the time when you were in high school, college, or post-graduation to figure out what you were passionate about. </p>
<p>At some point, probably better sooner rather than later, the motivation will have to come from within.</p>
<p>I actually enjoy research and civic work a ton- I actually find research exciting and fun (some may call me strange for enjoying reading journal papers, but eh, that’s me).</p>
<p>The problem is deciding between a standard research program (Clark program, RSI, etc.) and an internship. I was thinking using the college-perspective to decide. </p>
<p>But, thanks for the life advice- taken note of.</p>
<p>Why are you asking this question? Do you think anyone would think these are bad?</p>
<p>Besides perhaps the cynical (and true) view that you’ve gotten some of these roles solely due to connections versus real merit, why are you asking this question?</p>
