I am. I’m in california though so I dont know if that makes a difference or not.

22

Same here

23

Still waiting: NY

24

I just heard back. I’m sorry I won’t get the chance to meet you guys. On another note is anyone who has gotten accepted still looking for a roommate? I’m in the process of finding housing and if anyone wants to room together shoot me a message.

25

So you got in? Congratulations!

26

I did thank you!

27

@silverbird125 I got in too!!! PM me so we can chat if you’re still looking for potential roommates. So excited!

28

@silverbird125 @Top10Squad I got in too! Unfortunately I live in NY so no need for housing, but good luck getting a place.

29

I got in as well. I am in California, so anyone who is looking for housing can collaborate with me. Hope everyone can find something great to do this summer! Good luck

30

I’m just curious, are you guys who got in in high school or college?

31

@Larkin29 Can’t speak for others but I’m in high school

32

Same. I can’t speak for others, but I’m in high school

33

Current international junior in high school. The other acceptees I’ve spoken to are also in high school. I believe it’s only open to sophomores, juniors and seniors in high school. After all it is a “high school internship”.

34

It’s also open to college students but I’m also a current international junior in high school.

35

@sliverbird125 Ahh ok, that makes sense. So some students will be in college already? Damn, that’s intimidating.

36

@Top10Squad I think even though it is open to college students there will probably be little or none, as the UN has its own college internship program.

37

@thunder7719 Ok, that reassures me. See you there!

38

Could the people who were accepted post a bit about their backgrounds/interests? I was just really surprised to be rejected and am curious to see what the profiles are of people who were accepted.

39

I heard about the program the day that acceptances/rejections were sent out. For the people that were accepted- how active were you in regards to volunteering/ joining clubs?

40

I want to apply next year, but I was wondering what the acceptance rate for this internship is. Do any of you you know? @Top10Squad @thunder7719 @silverbird125 @mayuram
