<p>You are Awesome!!! I will definitely keep in touch with you if I get the position…Good luck!</p>
<p>how the hell coudl they do interviews and check references for all these people?</p>
<p>I am sure that they narrowed it down before conducting interviews</p>
<p>All-</p>
<p>I just called 1(202) 456-1414 and spoke to a lady that transfered me to a White House Personelle. SURPRISINGLY, I actually spoke to someone and I asked her a couple of questions. She told me that she did not know how many applicants and acceptances there were for the Internship (which I thought was crap) but anyhow, I asked her if those who got phone interviews/emails got the position and she said that everything is up in the air. Phone interviews and emails does not make someone “automatically accepted” into the Internship BUT she said that those people have a good chance of getting the position. She also said that most decisions have pretty much been made. I’m not sure as to how true that is because they have been postponing the decision making for a while now. I think that its time to play detective. Can someone else call and see if she gives the same responses?! Just call and ask to be transfered to a White House Personelle. Hopefully your luck is as good as mine in actually getting to speak with someone!</p>
<p>if someone gets on the line with someone (i didnt), can you ask them what not getting yesterday’s email means BECAUSE IM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I SEEM TO BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO DIDNT GET ONE ha.</p>
<p>hahaha oh God…</p>
<p>I called them yesterday and the person that responded said “White House Pesonnel”…I have been accepting the machine until I heard a person…I got soo scared that I hung up…lol…i thought I had called a wrong part of the White House or sumthing and could get in trouble lol, oh well haha</p>
<p>so, most decisions have been made?..hmmmm that sucks</p>
<p>hm, then why wait? I guess they want to send out <em>all</em> acceptances/denials at once. So they must be down to the last batch (which I mentioned earlier when talking about the ambiguity of the email from yesterday, now we know it meant they are looking through the last round of applicants, I think?)</p>
<p>I dont want to call because I have finals and stuff to worry about right now (haha oh god…) but if someone else does please post!!! this guess more interesting by the minute, hah!</p>
<p>okay this is driving me nuts…im calling.</p>
<p>OK people so I just called and I think we can not put most of the debates we’ve had here in the past 24 hours. I spoke to a woman named Anna and asked her why I had got a confirmation email but did not get the email yesterday. She said it must be a glitch, they had my application, and yesterday’s emails meant NOTHING except to tell everyone who had applied that they would find out on the 24th instead of the 20th. She said no decisions had been made.</p>
<p>Which means either A. anyone on here who said they actually got the internship are liars or B. a girl named Anna who works at the White House just lied to me over the phone after giving me her name. Yeah, er, I’m gonna go with the person on the blog under a fake name is the one lying…</p>
<p>okay this is weird…</p>
<p>I just called that number X1414 and this machine came on that said “if you’d like to leave a message for the president-” then it was interrupted by a guy that answered “white house”. I asked to speak to someone who could answer questions about the white house internship program. He told me to hold so he could transfer me…then he sent me straight to that old message that’s been answering everyone’s phone calls for the past few weeks.</p>
<p>dee22</p>
<p>ahhh, so i have some vindication for being scared in calling, lol. that is pretty sweet if you somehow got onto his personal message system, lol.</p>
<p>I dunno…i don’t the people who are saying they got in have any reason to lie about this. I’m sure the woman who answered said they have not decided because she is not allowed to release that kind of information to applicants. That does sound like something they would do.</p>
<p>dee</p>
<p>you have to ask for “white house personel” and you will be transfered to the dept. that does the internships and, chances are, will speak to a live person.</p>
<p>oh my God! I remember reading about some boy from Iceland calling the President Bush, and he got in big time trouble for it, even had Secret Service visit him because he called the secret President number…and guess what the number was…:202-456-1414</p>
<p>here is the article yall, READ IT! :)</p>
<p>[Did</a> Iceland Teen Call Secret White House Phone? - ABC News](<a href=“Did Iceland Teen Call Secret White House Phone? - ABC News”>Did Iceland Teen Call Secret White House Phone? - ABC News)</p>
<p>okay im going to try again…</p>
<p>ok, that number isnt secret, but the switchboard number to the West Wing, HOWEVER, there can be glitches, and to the person who almost left a message for the President…i think you actually almost got thru to the President, hahah pretty suhweeeeet!</p>
<p>Ok…so yall know that I had to call with all of my frustrations. </p>
<p>FIRST…I would just like to start off by saying that I hate liars. The fact that some people felt the need to come on this message board and post outright lies about their communications with the White House really urks my last nerves. I sincerely pray that if you did apply…whomever you may be…that they BURN YOUR APPLICATION IN EFIGEE to all that wrong in the world. </p>
<p>Secondly…for all of us that have been genuinely freaking out because of these web masked pretenders…lets calm down for a second. I just spoke with a woman who told me that SOME calls have been made BUT some people will be accepted without calls as well as not everybody who got a call gets accepted. Additionally, THERE HAVE BEEN NO…NOT ONE…ACCEPTANCE EMAILS SENT OUT TO ANYBODY!!! </p>
<p>Thirdly, I think they’re in as much of a scramble as we are. So let’s give it to Friday and just hope that it ends there. </p>
<p>AND I’M SO SERIOUS ABOUT YOU IMPOSTERS</p>
<p>cayugaprophet09</p>
<p>AMEN! Preach it brutha! :)</p>
<p>That’s great news. Glad you guys cleared most of this up!</p>
<p>I thought the “Finalist” email address sounded fishy. </p>
<p>Anyway, let’s not forget the whole reason they probably started putting up voice messages was because too many people were calling. I think it’s time to just move on with our lives till Friday. ;)</p>
<p>By the way, what other internships are you folks applying to/for?</p>
<p>itinerant_envoy</p>
<p>well ironically, since I live in a really RED state, I could only apply to Republican congressmen…I did…however, I forgot to take off the fact that I am a member of my school’s Democrat club lol.</p>
<p>i want to work fro ted Kennedy next summer, I dont know if that is possible since i am not from MA, but maybe there will be a way.</p>
<p>other than that, Im looking into working with President Jimmy Carter on Habitat for Humanity. I met him and his family, and I personally have friends that are close to him and habitat for humanity, so if anything, I still have an awesome Plan B.</p>
