<p>@Bruce The Office of Presidential Correspondence consists of interns, staff members, and local volunteers. President Obama gets thousands of letters and phone calls every day. He needs a large group of dedicated individuals to fill those roles. </p>

<p>Imo, one of the largest, if not, the largest office in the White House. In terms of this administration, OPC is part of the White House Internship Program (WHIP). Its role within the WHIP Program might have been different during previous administrations.</p>

<p>Anyone taking classes while doing the internship?</p>

3923

<p>That would be extremely difficult to pull off… Fall season is the busy season for most offices.</p>

3924

<p>I got accepted last Monday. I’m going to be senior and I’ll be taking classes in the fall. Right now I’m registered for 12 credits. </p>

<p>Were you an intern amplifier? What was it like?</p>

3925

<p>@apatel91 where are you taking your courses? whats your schedule like?</p>

<p>I am not sure what I’m going to be doing yet!</p>

3926

<p>Was anyone put on a waiting list and then never heard anything back?</p>

3927

<p>I got accepted last week. For those of you still waiting, be patient. It seems that decisions are rolling out continuously. For those of you accepted, what are you doing for housing? I am looking for apartments/roommates, searching craigslist, etc. If you are interested in sharing a place or helping out each other with the housing search, send me a pm.</p>

<p>@mchockeyguy I was wondering if you could give me some information. What was your resume and such like? Im just curious since you were accepted and I am applying for the Spring 2013 internship. Any advice on getting accepted also?</p>
