<p>if we get an interview… what do you think they’ll interview us about? i just started my first programming class this semester… so im practically clueless…</p>
<p>Was there a portion on the application where we were supposed to include the answers to the questions given on the website?</p>
<p>The questions were:
Please list the Computer Science-relevant courses that you are enrolled in for Spring 2013, What do you like about computer science (how would you use computer science to help solve a current world issue), How would you encourage a high school student to study computer science and anything else? (optional).</p>
<p>I don’t recall there being a portion to submit the answers.</p>
<p>Yes, there was an specific box with the label “Cover Letters”</p>
<p>Hi everyone, just wanted to give my input to put you all at ease. I sent my application within the first 24 hours of the page being open for submissions, and I haven’t received a response yet either. Like someone said above, it will likely be either sometime this week or next week. </p>
<p>As far as the content of the internship, it will likely focus on getting a generation of programmers to get used to how Google operates as a coding force - very open and collaborative. Practice makes permanent, and they want you to practice ‘perfectly.’</p>
<p>Best of luck to all of you.</p>
<p>Bumping with relevant e-mail:</p>
<p>“…everyone who applied will get an email letting them know what their status is in the next week. Students should check their spam box for an email from this alias (<a href="mailto:fep@google.com”>fep@google.com</a>). Keep in mind that we are letting students know on a rolling basis therefore, not all decisions will come out at once."</p>
<p>Hmm, I haven’t gotten that email. Did you ask them for an update or something?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I applied a few weeks ago and just got an email last Friday from Google saying I was selected for interviews! On the email it says: </p>
<p>Please keep in mind that we will be notifying all applicants of their status during the coming weeks and most of our applicants have not heard from us yet. </p>
<p>So, the results will likely come within the next few weeks. As a side note, the email got sent to my spam so I didn’t see it until yesterday, so make sure to check your spam often in the next few weeks.</p>
<p>Hey Puriea Congratulations and thanks for your feedback.</p>
<p>Do you mind telling me your programming experience? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I’ve had about 3 semesters of Java experience (in high school + college). I did a hybrid math/cs research project back in high school, which used some C++. I took and am currently taking computer systems courses, so I am familiar with C as well. I’m also currently working a web-development part-time job on campus which uses HTML, CSS, javascript and python scripting. </p>
<p>All-in-all I guess I’ve had some experience in hardware and web development, but I’m still most familiar with software.</p>
<p>Puriea, when did you get the email confirming Google had received your resume? I got mine on January 17th and still have not heard anything.</p>
<p>I received my confirmation email on Jan 7th and have yet to hear back as well… They will let all of us know eventually.</p>
<p>does anyone know how competitive it is? (how many applicants & spots)</p>
<p>xxxhuihuixxx, i would like to know the same thing. haha. from a website, i saw that google was recruiting 150 people. but then, other people say 20. so i would really like to know as well.</p>
<p>Has anyone else gotten a response?</p>
<p>I just got an email saying I’ve not been selected. lol. :(</p>
<p>Sorry jake 
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply?</p>
<p>Do you remember when you applied?</p>
<p>I applied in mid January and got an email in late January saying they didn’t have my transcript. I sent it in around Feb. 1 (they confirmed that it went through) so presumably they read my app between then and today.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who has applied. My daughter applied last year. As I recall, she had a phone interview in late February. She passed the interview and coding test. Unfortunately, they were unable to find a mentor for her so they didn’t extend an offer to her. She didn’t hear their final decision until April. However, the entire process of applying and interviewing was a great learning experience for her.</p>
<p>Has anybody else heard back from Google?</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
