I am not a lurker, but still want to say welcome to the new posters.

for terpfantoo, I believe all scholar students must do an internship during their soph yr (at least govt and politics do) for the citation of scholars. FYI, if she wants to do a fall internship, she needs to start working on it in by spring break, most internships for the Fall close around May. For spring soph internships typically will close by Nov. For govt and politics the process was sim. to college applications, references, recommendations, essays, etc. It is not something that can be pushed out over a weekend. The problem our DS faced was scheduling his mandated core courses while trying to have days off to work. He will be interning for Sen. Burr on the hill for Spring. Here’s the other catch if you are OOS, it starts Jan. 13th and ends May 20th, luckily we live in No.VA, so he can commute during winter break, but it could be a hassle for someone who comes from TX since the dorms will be closed for @ 2 more weeks. Additionally his hrs are Tues/Thurs 8:30 to 4:30, which means on top of ROTC and carrying 19 credits he will be for one semester basically working 9-5 M-F. Also, if she is on scholarship she will still be required to carry at least a 3.2
