also when deciding who to offer the internship do they include scores from the online tests as well ? or just interview ?

On the pdf document it said both would be used, but I'm not sure if the 'online application' referred to the tests or to things like location preference and background information. Hoping it's the tests because I did not feel great after the phone call haha!!

Hi did anyone else's interview last less than 30–35 minutes? Mine only lasted 18 minutes and I am quite concerned it did not last the full interview time.

I don't quite know why it only lasted 18 minutes. I gave pretty lengthy answers to all the questions and I asked some questions at the end.

Hi guys, were you also interviewed by a first year fast streamer?

Same , I thought my answers were detailed but then I attributed it to speaking too fast . There was one question where I got a bit nervous and didn’t give a good answer .

Maybe it was because I was speaking too fast. Idk, I just feel that my chances of getting the internship are slimmer now. It can't be the best sign that the interview wasn't full-length.

Hi! Was just wondering if anyone applying for the 2024 summer internship has had any response yet? I know some people had their interviews in December so just wondering if they have had an answer yet?

I'm assuming they'll let people know once they've interviewed everyone. Interviews are still going on.

No updates yet. My best bet would be sometime during mid of February to the start of March, but only time will tell 🤔

Hi! Does anyone know how we’ll be assigned to the departments if we’re successful? I can’t remember if we had to select the ones we prefer at the start of the application as it’s been so long 😂
