<p>I feel idiotic preparing for the white house internship... They only accept 5-10% of internships, and I'm a university student from abroad, although i have U.S. citizenship. I have NEVER seen anyone from a non-American university with U.S. citizen getting accepted to the White House....</p>

<p>Why is that the case? I have seen that long thread, but that's not helping me since my case is different.
Should i just give up applying to the White House?</p>

<p>Isn't it 99.9999% rejection in my case?
Or do you think it's still worth trying, since i fit the qualifications still?</p>

<p>Why the White House? How about the many, many other internships in Washington, D.C.? Apply and see what happens. </p>

<p>i just can’t think of anything except the White House. Do you know some good international organizations in the Washington D.C. region except the White House? I am majoring in international relations so. </p>

<p>The senate foreign relations committee, the state department, homeland security, there are troves of NGO’s around DC… </p>

<p>pretty sure most of the White House stuff is not IR related…</p>
