<p>So, the application came out yesterday anyone else applying? </p>
<p>I know several people on this forum have gotten offered the internships to those people any advice, how was the experience, any additional things to look out for/ keep in mind. </p>
<p>Thanks, good luck to everyone who decides to apply</p>
<p>Hey there, I am also thinking of applying! I have all the paperwork ready, but would definitely like some advice and know what other people are doing for their Memo and Essay. I liked that they spiced up the application process by including a Memo, but is this a trick? </p>
<p>Any comments?</p>
<p>you guys should check out the super long thread started during the first round of summer applications last year <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/690949-white-house-internship.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/690949-white-house-internship.html</a></p>
<p>It’ll be really, really helpful in answering any of your questions about the process. And, after 3 different terms of internship applications (summer, fall, and spring), you’ll get a great sense of the process. We spring applicants also had to create memos.</p>
<p>i just finished up my memo it was an interesting experience personally I dont understand the purpose of a couple of the questions in the beginning like what is your favorite song,n are they really going to make a decision based on something trivial like that</p>
<p>Just curious, would the fact that I am conservative politically and interned for a Republican gubernatorial campaign last summer hurt my chances?</p>
<p>Hey guyz! I’ve applied for the Summer 2010 internship and got the confirmation email. So waiting for their response. Best luck to all those who applied! :)</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything about the WH internship? I know they extended the deadline for apps…</p>
<p>nope, have not heard a word since my app + recs were confirmed</p>
<p>Hey guys, has anyone got an interview request yet?</p>
<p>I haven’t heard a peep since the application. You?</p>
<p>No, I haven’t heard anything yet…I imagine they will contact people this or next week to schedule interviews?</p>
<p>Howdy Folks!</p>
<p>I have been following the White House Intern Thread for a while as a non member, so I just now decided to join. I applied as well and wanted in on the latest news of the application status. Good luck to all! Glad to join the forum!</p>
<p>So what I am gathering from the posts, is that if you did not receive a “vitals” email then you did not get the internship or an interview. Sorry I am just a little confused. I feel as though this was answered somewhere in this thread.</p>
<p>well I didn’t get a vitals email and people say without that there is basically no chance for getting the internship but who knows maybe we will be proven wrong, I hope so but doubt it at this point</p>
<p>can someone help me out. I applied for the fall 2010 internship program and they are going to start notification on Monday! What should I expect? Thank You</p>
<p>There’s 122 pages of information on the WH internship here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/690949-white-house-internship-122.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/690949-white-house-internship-122.html</a></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks you very much</p>
<p>So I have not received a notifcation yet, and looking through this thread, I am becoming concerned.</p>
<p>I received a vitals email, to which I obviously replied, but was not contacted for a phone interview. Has anyone been accepted thusfar who was not interviewed?</p>
<p>To complicate things, I am currently living abroad, doing a masters at LSE-- so maybe THAT’s why I wasn’t asked for an interview? </p>
<p>Also, do all departments conduct interviews? Those who have been interviewed, what were your top 3 department choices?</p>
<p>Mine were: Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, and WH Office of Energy and Climate Change (ranked in that order).</p>
<p>I’ve been obsessively checking my email for the last five days-- I really want to know already!</p>
