[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is a junior at UMD at the business school. Got a paid internship this summer, including housing. Other interns at this company attend, Georgia Tech, UVA, Ohio State, Va Tech, among others. No matter what dcum tells you, it comes down to what you do once you are in college. All interns are really bright. No not all hired on the business side. Some CS students are there too. Hope this helps some panicked parents..[/quote]

I think it depends on the internship. DC is at a highly selective stem/engineering one and 31% of the 58 spots are students from T15s, ie Ivies/MIT/Stanford/Duke/Northwestern/Chicago/UCB. Every Ivy but one is represented, some multiple. Students from the "next tier" make up another 25%, either T25ish overall (ie rice, ucla, uva, notre dame, michigan) or top 5-6 STEM that are not generally considered t25 (UIUC, GT, Harvey Mudd, Olin). The rest are from mostly T30-100ish, and many HBCUs and LACs. 
Glancing at the list one could think oh any school could get a kid here, but yet the T15 and the next tier are both significantly overrepresented. [/quote]
