Average Number of Internships/Co-ops for Seniors

<p>Hello, I was just wondering if anyone familiar with hiring new grads in engineering had any idea what the average number of internships/co-ops an applicant would have on their resume would be?</p>

<p>I just would like an idea of where I fit in.</p>

<p>Probably 1-2. It’s uncommon for people to get internships between freshman and sophomore year, it’s somewhat common between sophomore and junior year, it’s very common between junior and senior year. </p>

<p>If you’ve done something else productive during your summers, like research for instance, it’s not as problematic for finding a job than if you just screwed around for all your summers in college.</p>

<p>Well I pretty much just screwed around between my freshman and sophomore year, outside of some community college courses, haha.</p>

<p>But yeah I’ll graduate with 3 so that makes me feel better</p>

<p>So are you from Ann Arbor?</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m in my 3rd year here</p>

<p>Having 3 co-ops under your belt is great! Good luck.</p>
