White House Internship

<p>Yes, email.</p>

<p>I just submitted all of the departmental review, background check paperwork. After e-mailing it in, did you guys get any confirmations that it was received?</p>

<p>@ohsoclumsy yeah, you should receive a confirmation monday!</p>

<p>I will be entering my sophomore year in college with 53 credits next fall. I am considering applying for the white house internship for next spring. I ended last semester with a 3.6 and my cumulative GPA is a 3.3. I am a double major in Political Science and Economics. I am a Finance Intern on Senator McCaskill’s re-election campaign. During the 2008 election cycle, I worked on President Obama’s campaign and in 2010 on a congressman’s campaign. I am a member of College Democrats and am planning on becoming more involved on campus next semester. My political science professor is writing me a letter of recommendation and I’m working on having Senator McCaskill do the same. Does any one have any advice or any idea on my chances of landing the internship? Thanks.</p>

<p>@Future Dj, You seem very well qualified for the internship but I also think that it depends on what office you are applying too. Some offices may receive more applicants than another office. Even though it is competitive, I can definitely see you landing at least an interview! GOODLUCK! You should def. apply, most of us are still waiting to here back for fall 2012</p>

<p>Thanks @goforit, are there certain departments that are less or more competitive?</p>

<p>what are you guys going to do about rooming and boarding? i think that there is anew season for WH interns,am i right?</p>

<p>so i’ve gotten 2 processing your application emails… and that’s it… thoughts?</p>

<p>Anyone get accepted?</p>

<p>same, sent in my background forms beginning of may, still waiting.</p>

<p>Did you get a confirmation for your sf86? I got one for the other forms but not that one</p>

<p>I sent everything in one email so I got one confirmation.</p>

<p>The waiting game is killing me!</p>

<p>Anyone who got a departmental review get wait listed or rejected?</p>

<p>well at least there are others on here that are in the same boat</p>

<p>One person on here got the departmental review and got waitlisted!</p>

<p>Its a good sign that we haven’t heard anything since a batch of rejections went out yesterday!</p>

<p>if its not this week…im gonna start looking for other options</p>
