My main concern is that the ECs listed are both sparse and many are prospective. I have a summer research internship lined up in Thailand at Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary, that’s about the most relevant EC I can get, unless I can manage something with the Cornell ELP or an organization like Save the Elephants or the Elephant Valley Project in Cambodia.
Besides those, the best I can do domestically is the Dallas Zoo, or, if I am COSMICALLY lucky, an internship at Colossal.
Working full time (should clarify I mean legal full time, 32+ hours, rarely 40) is definitely a time constraint, hence why I’m trying to maximize the utility of my summer availability. I mainly work to afford school in case I don’t get into a more financially well-endowed university. A&M will be expensive, my parents won’t really be able to help me to afford university, so I need to plan for the event that I don’t get in.
