This is an awesome program. I did it last year, and having it on my otherwise empty resume really helped in the internship hunt this year (I don't know if they used my GSoC evaluations or anything during the process, but I ended up landing a Google internship!).

Echoing rileya, GSoC was the shimmering star on my resume when I applied for my first internship two summers ago.

Mine wasn't at Google, but at a startup that decided to keep me on and just got acquired, so it all worked out pretty well!
