<p>My son’s experience with CAPS has been frustrating. He worked last summer for a small publishing company in NYC. So he thought he would apply for a Metcalf and apply to similar jobs. He doesn’t neccessarily want to work in publishing after graduation, he would like a summer job that allows him to remain in Chicago but at CAPS they just can’t seem to understand that fact. They pigeonholed him as somebody who wants to work in the field as a career. CAPS also screens appliocants as a first interview and then selects the next round of applicants that will interview with the company. You don’t have the option of sending in a recommendation until the 2nd interview, however. Also, very vague on when they will pass you to the next phase of the process or when final notification will be. My impression - not as helpful as it could be. Basically playing catch-up to the Ivies and not doing terribly well at it.</p>
