<p>I heard that Uchi has very tough academics and people there are always busy with study. Does that mean that Uchi Econ major undergraduates will do less internships than students from other universities because they are too busy studying?
And also, what do you think is more important to help you get jobs: internships or the reputation of the school?
Thx.</p>
<p>Internships are usually in the summer. For your second question, both are pretty important. Reputation of the school helps in getting you an internship, after all</p>
<p>I’ve found that many (most!) students find the time to intern during the quarter. My roommate is an Econ major, and she works downtown in a consulting firm two days a week - takes classes at Booth, the business school, and is also in CCIB (Chicago Careers in Business - check it out: <a href=“https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/academics/future/careers/business.shtml[/url]”>https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/academics/future/careers/business.shtml</a>) </p>
<p>Internships are really important. I’d actually argue though, that alumni are key - and the University of Chicago has a large and supportive alumni network through which you can find everything from Mentors to Metcalf internships. <a href=“Home | CareerAdv”>Home | CareerAdv;
<p>Oh, thank you about it. It’s very helpful for me.</p>
