Also, if you notice the people that claim to have acceptance or interviews are one time posters!

Problem here is everyone is so on-edge, it doesn't take much to throw us into disarray, panic and confusion. Keeping composure is an important dimension for public service (see, you're being tested right now).

Hi! I am new to this site! What a great resource!

Just to let people know, I got interviewed for the Office of Scheduling and Advance last Tuesday and received an email stating I should know by Friday although my interviewer told me I should know at the early part of this week with a phone call.

I will keep everyone posted.

Envoy: I just got a call saying that I have an externship (so, unpaid) position waiting for me at another Government Agency if I don't get the White House Internship. I was fumbling a bit through the phone call but managed to get out a "I'm waiting on another decision for this Friday" and the woman was especially nice and gave me until Monday to decide (note: this call was my OTHER gov agency, NOT a White House call).

wheeeew. so I'm relieved, I've got a job this summer. Anyways, I *really* hope Friday is THE day because I called my mom and she said that I have to turn down the White House Internship if I don't find out by Friday because I need to start working ASAP. Which is true....

ANYway, I think the woman Anna just couldn't confirm or deny any news of acceptances or denials. Who knows...

Greetings All,

I have finally decided to join the site after having read all of the posts! I have to say though, I will not believe most of what is said on this site. After all, everyone here is anonymous right?! Thus, who knows if anyone here is telling the truth. Anyhow, I joined to encourage you all and to join the long, anxious wait. Good Luck to you all :-P

-TWorld

nupenupeyoo: Yeah, I keep doing that too, except with ANY area code from the NoVa area. I start freaking out, and then I choke up on the phone (thus the blundering of my call earlier). Haha...

Thanks George!

This thread is making me worry but I guess I will see in a couple days....

Just to let everyone know, you don't need connections to land this job. I had NO CONNECTIONS whatsoever, just great recommendations. So anything can happen.

The more I wait, the more I worry and everyone in my office is asking me about this every single day! AHHH!

TWorld: thanks, it takes a lot of pressure off of me and makes me feel a LOT better to think if I don't get this internship, I'm still going to have a *fantastic* summer work experience!

also-- congrats so far presjam! good to know you've been getting through this process based on YOU haha.
