University program or internship?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I'm currently a junior in high school and considering applying to NU's Medill School of Journalism next school year. I'm really trying to augment my journalism experience, but I've run into a sort of predicament.</p>

<p>Should I attend Indiana University's High School Summer Institute or apply for an internship in western Ohio at a moderate-sized newspaper (either Bowling Green or Findlay)? The internship would be about an hour and a half commute, but I would be willing to make the drive if I am accepted. Which one would look better to NU combined with scholastic journalism awards, attendance at multiple NSPA conventions, associate editor and editor-in-chief positions on my newspaper, and enrollment in a dual credit college journalism class next year?</p>

<p>Given the competitive nature of internships, apply for both.</p>

<p>Always have a plan A, plan B, and plan C. </p>

<p>career oriented work always trumps just one more school program.</p>
