I'm a third-year at a top 10 university hoping to attend a top 3 law school. I was selected for a Department of State Critical Language Scholarship to study Arabic in the Middle East.

The problem is, I already have two highly competitive internships lined up back-to-back this summer. Are they worth giving up for the Critical Language Scholarship?

How well-known is CLS? How competitive is it? Crudely put, how much will it impress admission committee at top law schools (Yale, Harvard, et al.)?

Note: This is by far not the only factor I'm considering ... not by a long shot. In the end, I'm going to "go with my heart." I'm just trying to have all the facts before I make any final commitments. Let's just say I like the internships and the chance to study abroad equally, but I can only do one or the other, and "law school admissions utility" is the tiebreaker. What should I do? Thanks!
