IBM Research Internship - any experiences out there?

<p>I was wondering if anyone in the CC community had experience with the IBM research internship. This is my #1 internship that I would like to get. I really would like to get involved with the nanotechnology research they have going on in Almeden. </p>

<p>I understand that this is probably an extremely hard internship to land, but I wanted to know what they are looking for in students; I.E. previous research internship/experience. My GPA is decent, 3.7, so I don't know if that will be an issue, or if they are looking for better. I interned at the Medical College of Wisconsin as a laboratory engineer this summer, and I have contacted a professor about doing research for nano particles and bioactive glass this upcoming year.</p>
