I recently got accepted to the Practicum track of the BU RISE Summer Program, and a summer internship at GE. My parents want me to do the internship at GE, but I really want to go to the BU RISE program because I would love to explore Boston and meet new people and do research. I’m aware that an internship at GE would look better on my college apps (I think?) but the summer program sounds like such a fun time so I’m having a hard time deciding between my two options. What should I do??
Both sound like great opportunities. Is the GE internship paid? Is there cost considerations for doing the RISE program? I think both would be impressive additions to an application but you should do what makes you excited if your family can afford it.
