internship w/ congressman

does landing an internship with a congressman impress colleges? how much would it impact admission?

<p>It couldn't hurt, but don't do an internship to impress colleges, do it because you have a reason to be an intern there. Remember that you will be in a very partisan environment, and you'll be miserable if you're a Republican in a Democrat's office and vice versa.</p>

<p>It would depend on the letter of rec you leave with.</p>
