[quote=Anonymous]Top colleges will start to matter more and more. DC is at an ivy and there seem to be plenty of summer internships lined up already, many competitive options have not announced offers yet. From engineers to english majors, the paid positions are there. Not a single one is through family connections but the majority were found via faculty or career center connections. Faculty want to help but the students have to do the prep and be on top of it. In our area, students from the more elite schools are getting paid summer options, regardless of major. Not sure if it is the culture of students at the elite obsessed with investigating many options early in junior year and other schools do not have that culture or what. Furthermore, the elite kids were much more likely to have career-building internships/research after sophomore year and some after freshman year. Resumes build upon themselves: the early birds win.
