Hi guys, first post here. I’m a grade 11 student in an international school in Singapore (I’m from India) and I’m looking to get some work experience under my belt before I apply to university later this year. I’ve shortlisted Loyola Marymount University (in Los Angeles) and University of Minnesota (in Minneapolis) to do their business programs.

Anyway, it isn’t easy for students (especially ones still in high school) to get an internship here in Singapore, and I wanted a taste of what it’s like to live by myself. I was wondering if anyone has done discovery internships’ LA program and can tell me if its any good. I realize it is a pretty expensive program but considering it includes meals, housing and transport, my perception is that it seems worth it. I may be wrong as I’ve not read many reviews about it but they seem to be professionals.

Is there any other way I can get an internship in the LA area (bearing in mind I am not an American citizen)? I’d appriciate a quick response on this matter as their application deadline is close.

Thanks!
