I did. so did someone else on CC (DA09), I started a thread 2 weeks ago or so about it, but it's kind of been dead for a while.
Anyway, to answer your questions.
Getting the internship is super significant. It's a bit hard to get into, since I think they only accept about 100-200 applications out of over 1000 or some ridiculous number. Also, it's the WHITE HOUSE. Think about it for a sec.
If you're writing a resume and you put down 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, as a former work address what do you think that says about you? (answer: awesome!)
Basically, A- It's a great oppotunity to work inside the White House and see how a Presidential Administration runs; B- It's a great leg up to starting a public service or political career; C- It's fun and unique (from what former interns seem to say).
I wouldn't turn it down if I got it (plus why go through all the hassle of essays and rec letters and resumes in the short turn-around time if you aren't going to accept).
With that said:
When did you go complete and get your confirmation email?
