The moral of the story is, search for what you really want to study—if the best class on impressionism happens to be at your local community college or state university, that’s fine. Don’t focus on the name brand of the program but on what the program actually covers. See our Ultimate Summer Guide for programs that have a high level of academic rigor.

Students who live in privileged areas may want to weave in work during summers to show they are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Many admissions officers had to work to put themselves through college and can hold it against students from areas like Greenwich, New York City, Beverly Hills, etc… who have never worked an actual job. What kind of job? The more low-level the better. Students often head in the other direction by obtaining fancy internships through parental connections. Admissions officers are not dense: no student is going to find an internship with a top hedge fund or law firm without parental intervention. Students would be better off pumping gas at the local gas station or working the cash register at CVS than just accepting a job at a fancy internship with no connection to their academic interests—that won’t impress colleges. Make your summers count!
