I’m a first time applicant to the White House internship program, and I attend college in Washington D.C. I currently plan on applying for the internship in the Spring of 2020. As for background I am a Hispanic student, 3.2 GPA, and former intern of the US Senate and a law firm.
For any previous applicants, any advice would be appreciated while applying to this program.
Be male, and look very, very white.
Seriously, take a look at the intern group photos since Trump became president.
You’re implying that because I’m Hispanic I wouldn’t get selected?
Reply #1 is probably referring to something like this:

However, the apparent shift in race/ethnicity may be in part due to partisan self-selection.
Ok. Reply #1 wasn’t even relevant to my question.
