<p>I'm applying to transfer and I've been offered an internship for a small nutrition company as their "internet marketing director." However, with classes, other commitments, and no car, it would be pretty inconvenient to accept. However, if I were to somehow make it work, and inform schools of it, would it have any great impact on my chance of admissions?</p>
<p>My Stats:
College: Loyola Marymount University
Standing: Sophomore
GPA: 3.53 (3.85 in major)
Major: Biochemistry; english minor
ECs: DI rowing, Mathematics TA, English honors society, Unite for sight, student-athlete mentoring, assistant crew coach for high school team, newpaper in high school and college</p>
<p>I think that if this internship would be something you woudln't enjoy and that it'd bring your grades down/get in the way of school because you don't have a car, have other commitments ,etc., then it would not be advantageous, perhaps even detrimental. But, if it's something you'd enjoy and is pertinent to your major/career goals, then it would be something that would reflect positively on your determination.</p>
<p>Internships are always advantageous to have on an application. Turn the internship into something valuable and meangingful to you; it will give you something to write about yourself and your interactions with others.</p>
<p>Also, internships, or any kind of extracurricular is a test of your ability to time-manage. If you can handle internships with a full course load, that will say lots about your workmanship and your ability to excel under the pressure of time.</p>
<p>However, if you know you'll have difficulties maintaining the internship, do not do it. There will be other opportunities if you search for them.</p>
