<p>GuerillaGorilla, I agree with you completely.
I applied to the Silicon Valley market also.
I have not heard anything from BOA.
I’m almost convinced I’m rejected ):</p>
<p>Do we honestly have to wait till May 22nd?
If I got rejected, I need to sign up for classes at a community…
I’m not sure if I should wait or not.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think it’d be in your best interest to start preparing for a different summer than originally planned; at least that’s what I’m doing. If it somehow turns out that we did make it than we can always cancel our other plans, but from all the indicative signals that I’ve observed, the chances of that are pretty slim.</p>
<p>rawwrrr it x3 and GuerillaGorilla</p>
<p>I just received my packet today with all the information about the program. I have suggestions though if you still want to do something like civic participation or engagement. Internships at your local city hall would be a way to look into. Looking at specific departments that you’re interested in like housing or economic development or finance or even city council may help you find some good opportunities. There are plenty of county internships too, so do some research. Joining youth councils or any youth empowerment organizations may be of interest to you too…</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>I got in to the silicon valley market!! What about you??</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything yet! Did they call you?</p>
<p>Yeahh, i was notified like 3 weeks ago. I got all my materials already. The lady said that she just finalized all the ppl so i guess everyone has been selected. :(</p>
<p>If you look at my old post like page 11 or 10, i posted some of my ideas for other possible areas you migh want to look into for civic engagement. hope it helps!</p>
<p>Plussss, you might not even like the place we’re goin to be interning at. I’ve yet to confirm this, but some of the stuff the org. does is controversial. mkkk that’s all</p>
