what counts as a presentation

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi,
I asked this in my thread for summer program help, but I'm not getting answers and I'm getting desperate. I'm trying to figure out what counts as a presentation that can be put on my resume and on apps. For example, the Leadership Alliance has a symposium for all the undergrads in all the fields at different schools to present- does this count even though it's not a psych conference? My other program is an REU and so doesn't have a related bigger program, but they say there is an all programs poster session at the end, does this count? I really need to get presentations and so this is a big consideration with me when picking my internship but I just don't know what counts. Thanks in advance!


Yes, they both count as presentations and will probably have the same impact on your grad school applications.

Yes, both of those "count," but neither is likely to be much of a boost to your grad school application, IMHO,
 
It counts, but what would be even better is to REALLY impress your mentor within the program and ask them if they would help you, maybe after the within-program conference, submit something to a "real" conference. Having a poster at something like APA or APS would probably help more.
