Were these asked in your general interview or your department specific interview? @ahop95
Let’s all calm down. There is still plenty of time before the decisions come in. Based on the other threads, there isn’t that much connection between getting a call and getting accepted. I’m sure a lot of us worked for the campaign in many ways, but there are 50 states with tons of regions and only 150ish spots.
@MelSee9 when did you get your call/email about getting an interview?
@MelSee9 I received more more casual questions than I expected (What do you for fun? What’s the last non academic book you read?). Be able to talk about any political internships you had and why you want to intern at the White House.
No one has received an interview with a specific office, right?
My interview is with the head of the department. I received an email to setup a time and day for the call. I didn’t work for the campaign, but I did vote for Trump and have a lot of leadership experience/political organizational background.
Were there any specific questions about President Trumps policies?
So your interview wasn’t with the Chief of Staff of a department?
@MelSee9 my interview for tomorrow will be with the chief of staff of a department. Which department are you looking to work for?
Have any of you heard recently about getting your interview? Just trying to figure out if there’s still hope I could get one or if everyone who’s getting one has been informed?
Have not heard anything
Hey does anyone know if you can get an internship without interviewing? I am curious because I have heard conflicting things!
I had my interview yesterday with general staff and they said that decisions should be out by today. They also said that only about 100 people out of over 1000 are selected.
I’m going to take a wild guess that no one has heard anything today, right? I have several people telling me we should hear back next week.
Hello everyone,
New commenter here. I submitted my application a week in advance and I have yet to hear anything back. To say that I’m nervous would be quite the understatement. I shall remain optimistic and pray that this is what the Lord wants for me. Best of wishes to you all. xx

So it looks like decisions are NOT out. Maybe we’ll hear by tomorrow. Good luck, everyone!
Anyone hear anything?
No I haven’t heard anything. I wonder if they will only notify us if we are accepted.
If you are not accepted they will send you a email. I’ve heard nothing back as well.
I had an interview this past Thursday and was told I would probably find out Friday. I still haven’t gotten any word, though.
Good luck VandyPerson!
I still have not heard anything. I am assuming that is not a good thing???
