What Can I do to increase my chances of admission?

Applying to College
1

<p>Im really motivated, and I want to go to a really good school. I want to do all of these things this summer, I like them all equallym, but I obviously cant do them all. Which do you recommend from an academic perspective? Im an international student who wants to go for engineering, preferrably top 10 or top 20 in the US.</p>

<p>a) Summer Program at Cornell, Introduction to Engineering
b) Summer unpaid Internship at a large-corporation, Plant Management/Engineering Sales, Engineering&Technical Division
c) Research Assistantship (Saudi university)
d) Summer Program with King Abdulaziz and His Men's Institute for Gifted Children</p>

<p>Any other suggestions? I need your help!</p>

<p>From a purely academic perspective, I’d suggest c.</p>

<p>Work with the king.</p>

<p>Thousands of Asian kids in new jersey or Maryland have summer programs. How many worked with a king?</p>

<p>lol@jasonInNy haha its the institute’s name silly! But my friend (Int.Math. Olympiad semifinalist) suggested that camp, he said it was really helpful.</p>

<p>Wont working at a plant/engineering division show your applied interest in that field (although your application will be in a focused, narrow stream) more than anything else?</p>
