Wait. I'm confused as well. Is this supposed to be a question of doing internships over the summer, or do you want to narrow down and improve those ECs? Personally, I know more of the latter than the former part I stated, but I do have at least some experience with both. If you could explain it better, I would appreciate it, so I can answer your question.

Kind regards,

theyre trying to have an "everything law" related theme for their application since its what they might want to major in. basically asking if its okay to wait the 7 weeks before starting only all law stuff, and how can they use their last 2 weeks of summer to strategically relate it to law stuff

Ah okay. In this case, I would personally recommend focusing this year on writing the CommonApp essays during the 7 weeks of summer break. I'm pretty sure they would still have access to the internet. If not, then just pick a topic right now and focus on writing the essay by hand and look over it during the break. As for the last two weeks, I would suggest doing a passion project related to law if possible since there isn't that much time left.

Thanks for the clarification,

SilverDragon
