White House Internship - Fall 2017

Did 2 phone interviews. Hopefully I get it!

did they reach out about phone interviews this week?

Seems like we might not hear from them until next week :confused:

Really? Till next week? Then again there has been nothing really normal about this administration

Still waiting hopefully next week. Did anyone notice how the Fall deadline moved from June 16th to June 23rd?

@capvista Yes! I was tripping out at first thinking I read it wrong the first time. I wonder if they did that because they didn’t get as many applications as they thought they would.

To answer someone’s question, no interns work full time in the west wing. I am a current intern and I do get to go over to assist in the west wing periodically, but it depends on the office you’re in. Plus there are chances to go over there and to the White House for various events.

@capvista and @caligirl01 I had the same thought and worry about the date change. I had to read the date 2 or 3 times just to be sure. I am glad for the date change because I was still waiting for one letter of recommendation. I sure hope we hear next week! :slight_smile:

Has anyone already tried reaching out to the internship office to find out when notifications will be sent out?

I got an email

Still nothing for me :(! What does the email say?

I emailed but did not receive a response

What did the email say? I have not received anything

Has anyone else heard back from the WHIP?

I have not heard anything back either.

Got in!

@jinnyrosenthal Good for you! Unfortunately, I didn’t make it this time but I’m already preparing my application for Spring 2018 :). ( Any pointers would be appreciated lol)

I was accepted to work as an intern for the Fall 2017 White House Internship Program.

Today, I received notification that I had failed the background investigation and was found unsuitable for employment. No reasons were given. I was completely candid on the SF-86. I cannot think of any reason, besides my extensive foreign travel, as to why I was rejected.

I wanted to ask if anyone had any similar situations / advice?

Thank you

Anyone find cheap housing? I’m nervous about the prices lol

Anybody living there?
