[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, you do realize that Sidwell actually has a summer internship program for rising seniors and they send all the info out in March/April of junior year.  One applies for particular internships, typically writing essays and attaching a resume.  Many kids participated last summer.  It would be very hard for your kid not to have seen all that info.  Also, several kids aggressively pursued opportunities on their own by sending out mass emails and then following up.  One absolutely does not need “connections” to do this, just hustle and the ability to stomach a lot of rejection.  Doing something productive between junior and senior year is very important, in my opinion.  Some internships were more substantive than others, but I sense broadly the kids who did them got something out of them.[/quote]

I’m the poster who said we don’t have connections. We don’t have the advantage of Sidwell at all - my kid is in a public school. My other kid was at a Big 3 so I know the differences.  These threads get hard to follow, but I was referring the benefits of private school. [/quote]
