Does this experience help?

If I’ve had an internship at a university like MIT and worked directly under a professor, does that make me look favorable?
it just happen to work out that an opportunity is available for me, and im very interested and excited!!!

just curious. even if it does nothing, i will still carry through with this chance.

Nobody knows, except for the admissions committee. Don’t bank on it. Congratulations on your opportunity though.

I had an internship and also worked under a professor. The university was much less prestigious than MIT. However, there is no way to know if the admissions committee cared and if they would’ve accepted me even without this experience. It was just one of many things that i did during that summer.
