<p>I don't. :(
I am still looking..</p>
<p>I didn't know it will be this hard! I have a 3.1 GPA junior standing Chemical Engineering major from a good engineering university in California. I have applied to over 20 companies online and there is still no response.</p>
<p>anyone in the same boat as me?</p>
<p>i'm still waiting to hear back from one place... and i have another lead somewhere else. so i'm still waiting too!!</p>
<p>good luck !</p>
<p>I've already had 3 "no" responses from teams in the NFL and I have an interview with a minor league baseball team on Thursday. If that doesn't pan out, then I will likely be staying home and working at a fitness center/PT clinic where I've been working and helping in the weight room at the high school. So almost creating my own "internship" here at home.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>surprisingly, it was not hard for me to find an internship. Basically, i have a relative who knows the ceo of j crew and so i got an offer to go there for a bit over the summer (for marketing and promotion), but then i have another relative who knows the head anchor at a news station in san francisco, and so i have an opportunity to go there. Now i just have to do decide which to do lol!</p>
<p>ryan_kidz, you should apply to more. I applied to over 100 companies and I was fortunate enough to receive a position.</p>
<p>Well, I've got an internship with a minor league baseball team for this summer. Also, I will still be able to work at the physical therapy clinic that I have worked at the last two years :)</p>
<p>it is hard. i'm hoping for one too, but with the economy? it's hard.</p>
<p>I applied to over 200 positions, had 1 interview, but was rejected.</p>
<p>Just keep trying guys! I applied to about 85 places. I only know for sure that I got one. It's weird because it's the hardest place that I applied to. I found out yesterday that I got it. It literally caught me by surprise. Good luck!!! Keep your faith!!! Stick it out!!! I wish all of you the best</p>
<p>A datum: my D, who graduated last year, was part of a team reviewing applications for summer internships. There were over 500 applications for 10 internships. The internships were not interchangeable, i.e., some slots were looking for some skills/interests/experience, others for a different mix.</p>
<p>The winnowing process was brutal. You needed a 3.7 or better GPA just to have a chance.</p>
<p>I’ve got one offer locked down and I’m waiting for the final word on one more potential offer so that I can decide which one to go with. But what the last poster said was pretty spot on IMO. My GPA is well above a 3.7 and I’m in the second semester of my junior year. I’ve had 8 interviews, 1 solid offer, and 1 “we’ll see what happens with our budget” offer. I applied with +/- 50 companies.</p>
