For summer after junior year: 70 applications from August-November. 3 job offers

Apply EARLY and OFTEN[/quote]

Yes, but also [b]don't get discouraged if it doesn't work out in the Fall.[/b] I've seen with my kids in different fields that some are heavy on summer hiring in the Fall but the other saw a ton of places just posting jobs in January (and beyond).

CS major invested a lot of time in applications during Fall semester and secured a good internship by winter break (which then turned into a post-grad job).
Environmental science major is heavily applying right now because a lot of jobs dropped recently with January-February closing dates.[/quote]
PP TRUE!
I should have mentioned that sophomore internship wasn't offered until February. Research after freshman year was April. [/quote]
