<p>I am a 2nd year Mechanical Engineering student, and am looking for summer internships.</p>
<p>When is the best time to submit the resumes and application?</p>
<p>What are places you can recommend, and for those of you who been through on, what do you do during the day during the internship?</p>
<p>Are there any big companies who hire a lot of interns? What are my chances if my GPA is over 3.5? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>lots of chances if your GPA is over 3.5. i can tell you that.</p>
<p>I would also like to know the answer to this question, as I am applying for internships this winter.</p>
<p>don't your colleges use Monstertrak.com? that's where you wanna go if you are looking for internships.</p>
<p>I haven’t had any success with Monstertrak. I think there are too many submissions on there for the company to go through.</p>
<p>I would think there are better chances through directly applying on the company website.</p>
<p>Google internships in your area (i did that and got a great website though a local paper). Are you looking for this summer? You’re probably (almost definitely) too late to get a job, since you should apply around February/March for most summer positions. Also a 3.5+ GPA definitely helps, I gave my resume to a govt agency and they hired me instantly because of my high GPA in engineering, as a freshman.</p>
<p>^Look at the date of the first post.</p>
<p>oops! sorry, I was a bit of a late responder :P</p>
