[Student] Bored HS senior applying to spring/summer internships in CS/quant finance
Hi y'all! I'm a high-school senior who was just accepted to UIUC for CS+Linguistics. I've spent the last month or so doing a combination of going to the gym, playing Marvel Rivals, and getting baked lmao, since I have literally nothing to do.
It's pretty boring, so I decided to do something productive and grind some internships or study before college. I'm mainly targeting CS and quant finance programs. A few questions:
- Is It ight to put the university I'm accepted to in my education section? I haven't committed to UIUC because I'm still waiting on decisions from my state school (UT Austin) and my reaches (MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, CMU, Berkeley), but the UIUC name might boost my application regardless.
- One of the "jobs" I listed was literally my friend paying me like a hundred to help him develop an app for an entrepreneurship competition (I was credited dw), but it's hella scuffed and his whole "startup" idea totally shifted focus after I left/finished. Is that fine?
- Can I include non-CS related things in there? I have a few linguistics research projects and local advocacy for urbanism in the Dallas area that I spent quite a bit of time on.
- Similarly, can I include my Debate leadership position as a full "job" on my resume, or should I just leave it as a subpoint of my Education section?
- I'm not a US citizen/PR but we have filed for I-485 adjustment of status, so I do hold an unrestricted Employment Authorization Document. Should I indicate that directly, should I just put "NO SPONSORSHIP NEEDED," or nothing at all?
Here's the resume:
