Annoyingly, there is no one schedule for internships, the way there is for college applications. Some companies/organizations do it early, others very late.

Unfortunately, this sometimes means that the offers do not come in at the same time. A student may have to decide to accept or reject an offer from Internship A without having heard from the more desirable Internship B.

I suppose this can be considered preparation for real life, but I wish they had a uniform reply date.
