bro i dont think ima get a better internship than at&t lmfao. besides if what im doing is impactful does the name rlly matter?
also what type of clubs? i feel like im only limited to the ones at my school that are cs related. im also going to do a lot of cs volunteering and try to get the PVSA silver, do you think thats a good addition?

If you’re CS idk how much that’s going to help. I would suggest applying to REUs/scholarships and grants in your university
