Summertime ECs

I am currently a sophomore.

I will be applying to extremely selective colleges and I wanted to go into the medical field.

This summer is it better for me to:

  1. Get an internship to a hospital?

  2. Do a computer science program (machine learning) at Columbia?

If you want to go into the medical field, it’s best to show colleges that you are really passionate about that area. The CS opportunity sounds great but in your case I would suggest the internship.

Any more thoughts/opinions?
