[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd list it on activities section as the program she applied for and was accepted into. Seems cleaner and more honest.[/quote]

How is this more honest if this is not where the work is actually done?

Not PP, but I think different people are imagining different things.

My assumption was that she applied for that John Doe internship at Big Company.  The company also had a Harriet Tubman internship that she didn't apply to, doing pretty much the same thing but specifically targeting black women.

So she could write "John Doe Internship at Big Company" or write "Summer Intern at Big Company" and then in description say that she applied for John Doe which got combined with Harriet Tubman.

Or if she's applying to a program with short answers where it makes sense she could write about her mixed feelings, or something.

But even if she plans to use that space otherwise, then taking the internship and writing "Intern at Big Company" makes way more sense tha turning the internship down at this point in the summer.  [/quote]

OP.  Similar situation.   she applied to and was accepted to a departmental internship, say "summer intern in data analytics department" and this was folded into the "black women in STEM" program which has its own comprehensive programming.

there are only a tiny handful of kids like my kid who were impacted (and they're all female-not sure if the race of the other 2.)[/quote]
