White House Internship Program Fall 2019

I think they have to notify you either way. I heard late last night honestly I was not expecting that email to come up. I was driving and almost crashed lol. hopefully they send the next wave today and then we can all meet up in Washington and have a drink we deserve it lol

That would be awesome! My grandfather lives in Reston and that’s who I’d live with if I got it. If I don’t get it and I visit we should still all meet up for drinks!

I got in. Wasn’t expecting an email over the weekend let along at 10:30 on a Friday night. Remember to get your paper work in and don’t tell too many people because everything is still conditional. Congratulations to those who were accepted. For those who were not try again, don’t let rejection stop you!

@Politicalstudent27 same way i felt haha. are you starting to look into housing? im not sure how competitive good housing is there.

Did yalls status change on the website?

Hey guys, for those of you who haven’t received emails, don’t lose hope yet, I may turn down mine ( or fail the background check), so you never know:)
I got the acceptance email last night, super honored!! But can I ask @jimmyhurlbut @80degreescelsius @Politicalstudent27, how do we know which department is accepting us? I got an interview phone call on the 11th ( thursday, for those of you who keep track:), and it was from a department that I didn’t apply to. No other department has contacted me. Does this mean that if I pass the background check, the department who interviewed me will be my eventual post? Thanks!

@amoveablefeast don’t turn it down. They will let you know after the background check from my understanding what dept your in

still haven’t heard anything lol, I give up

It’s been 24hrs since y’all found out, I think I’t’s safe to say I’ll be rejected

Did anyone get the paperwork from the opm email yet?

Ok so I been tru this before kinda you have to go on the quip website and do everything through there. There’s a huge questionnaire type of background check then you have to virtually sign everything thru the website.

Yes I am aware of that, but it says they’ll send us an email with the registration information. Has anyone gotten such an email?

not yet

I still haven’t heard anything at all lmao

You will for sure they have to tell you even if you didnt get it

@amoveablefeast from my understanding it is most likely the department that interviewed you, but not always.

I just wish I got that 10:30pm email with you guys?

Thank you for your advice @80degreescelsius @Politicalstudent27 . @plidawg5 they prob put you on the waitlist already, since you haven’t gotten the rejection email, don’t lose hope

Still hopeful! It’s not over til it says rejected! (:

Definitely going to meet up with y’all if I get it. First round of drinks on me!!!
