Hi there!
I'm a rising sophomore in college (I'll have sophomore standing after this quarter, but I'm technically in my first year), double-majoring in Journalism and Chemistry with the intent to pursue science communication or public policy writing. I'm applying for some internships (mainly Goddard) and had a few questions that can hopefully be answered!
-
While I'm pretty confident in my skill set, does it seem like I have a shot? GPA isn't an issue (I have a 3.9) but I feel like I might lack the scientific background given that I won't be taking Chem and Physics classes until next quarter as well as after the (summer) internship. I did take AP science classes in high school and informally tutor kids on my floor in my building, but is that enough? Right now, I'm taking mainly communications classes: public speaking, mass communication, et al. I know that's helpful, but are they looking for more of a science background for some of these clerical jobs?
-
Are you able to use the same 150-word essay for different, but similar, opportunities? I'm totally game for writing a new one for each, but are the mentors able to view all of the ones I've submitted or can they only view their own listings? That's a bit of a sneaky question that makes me feel guilty to type, but I figure it's useful knowledge.
-
Has anyone done the weather forecasting program at Goddard? How are your experiences post-'weather boot camp'?
-
What was your favorite internship memory with NASA and how has it affected your networking abilities (the internship, not the memory, though I suppose if the memory actually is applicable, then go nuts)?
Thanks and sorry for such a long post!!
