I had my interview this past Monday. Now I wait.....
Wow this is a great thread since I've been feeling a little out of place applying for internships (I'm 26). I have recently started a new academic program with Disney in mind because I felt that an internship was the best way begin a new journey with them.
So are folks applying to both the college program and PI's? It'd be great if you could keep us posted on your progress! I know I'm very anxious about hearing back as I have a lot of eggs in this basket in the sense that it would truly be a dream come true to begin a professional career with a company that I love so much!
How has the application process been for you guys so far? Any news yet?
Speaking from a PI perspective, 26 is definitely not uncommon!
Just on my team the past 6 interns in our area (including me) have had ages ranging from 21-34, with only 2 of us being just out of undergrad. The other 4 were 26, 29, 29, and 34 and all in masters programs.
My area may be an anomaly (there are plenty just coming out of undergrad) but it seems to be common for PI's to have a wide age range
I am so excited to read this. I just got accepted into the Spring 2017 program and was really hoping to find other "non traditional" (I'm in my forties) students that were going to be there! Good luck everyone & please let me know when you'll be thereI saw a thread for last season but I am looking to see if there is anyone applying for spring 2017. I have my phone interview scheduled for next week and I am hoping there are other adults especially women applying.
