IEA Internship

Hi there.

I have been offered a months long internship with the Institute of Economic Affairs in Westminster, a think tank. I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences/knew of anybody who interned for them? Or if they know anything of the difficulty to gain an internship?

Congratulations; I applied in Spetember but still have not heard back. When did you apply?

I haven't? Do we assume it's a rejection? I sent them a follow up email asking them to confirm that they have received my application and no reply.

When did you submit your application? They usually send a confirmation email that they've received your application. They send they will get in touch by the end of April though.

I sent my application in March and the follow up email a few weeks ago. I didn't get a confirmation email from them which is rather odd...

An hour or two ago. Perhaps they haven't got back to everyone yet.
Hey guys, I want to apply for IEA this summer and I was just wondering if you had any tips on how to structure the letter?
And how was the whole experience?
