Landing a Summer Internship at JPL

Hi there,

Ever since I was kid, I've wanted to work at JPL because of its reputation and amazing community. Now, I'm a sophomore at UT Austin majoring in physics with a 3.97 GPA, and I would like to get an internship at JPL in the summer of 2019, but I'm not sure how to increase my chances of landing one.

I participate in organizations such as the Society of Physics Students and Astronomy Students Association, and have some prior research experience in high school (in chemistry education, I know it's unrelated, but at least it's something).

I have looked at some of the preferred qualities/skills of applicants on the NASA and JPL website, and many of them ask for experience in programming and Bayesian statistics, both of which I don't have much experience in, if at all. So, if anybody has some good resources for learning these, I would highly appreciate it.

Basically, I want to increase my chances of landing an internship this summer within the next 6 months, as that's when the applications are due. Any and all advice is highly appreciated. Thanks so much!
