landing an internship once im in dc
i’m mostly reaching out to other past cohorts of UCDC (university of california washington center) people since they are the most likely to have experienced this situation, but i still don’t have an internship secured and i’m pretty sure if i don’t have one by move in weekend, ill still be heading to dc.
my main question is for those in past cohorts or those in similiar situations that didn’t get an internship until after they moved in:
- did you/the person like the internship you/they managed to be placed at with assistance from on-site advisors?
- did being in dc make it easier to secure internships last minute?
- what’s the probability of ending up somewhere that aligns with your goals, etc.?
im super thrilled in general to be going to dc as part of the ucdc cohort, and of course not landing the internships i wanted in the first place definitely sucks but i just want to be prepared when worst comes to worst! thank you in advance!
