<p>You guys are right about Picker, but I was just referring to my own experience getting non-program internships. Hopeful asked about stuff she could do as a rising sophomore, after all, and at that stage, you really mostly have to find stuff on your own. It’s not hard to do, but you don’t always have the same support system to fall back on like you do with the Junior year intern programs. </p>
<p>My best piece of advice, Hopeful, is to start htinking about what you might like to do as an internship early on. If you have an idea in mind, it makes life a lot easier in the spring when you start to apply. Don’t leave your applications until too late or you’ll be screwed.</p>
