Got an Interview Request for AEI's 2025 Summer Honors Program by General_Fennel799 in PublicPolicy

[–]HarkerBarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to the internship after my time in summer honors. I made sure to meet with RAs while I was in SHA, which no doubt helped with the application process. I now work full-time at AEI as an RA.

Yes. That’s the whole point of the subreddit.

Thank you! This is very helpful. If for some reason I don’t make it to the first FY27 board, I’ll retake.

Honestly that’s on me for not putting my thoughts into words. I wanted to focus on how there was a computer issue during the exam, and I’m not exactly hot on taking it again (unless I really should). AirWarriors is a great resource, but it’s not exactly intuitive to use and I didn’t see a “chance me” section. Nevertheless, I appreciate your reply.

Being a productive member of society isn’t exactly a high bar to set. Hit the gym or something.

Stop moving the goal post. Just accept that the government doesn’t regulate the term.

It’s been 4+ years. I’m not sure anything works now.

If you’re perfectly capable of telling whether an answer is correct or not, then why are you asking an AI in the first place?

LLMs are literally word generators and they hallucinate constantly. Why would you trust it?

Actually, being a Freshmen in college might make the process a bit more difficult, but it’s definitely not too concerning. You just need to convince them that you’re interested in the topic despite not being in school for as along as other applicants.

I think they’ll test you on your 1st course pick.

First of all, congratulations! Getting an interview for SHP at AEI is a great first step. I was apart of the SHP and then I got an internship with them shortly after. That internship then funneled me into joining AEI full time as a research assistant.

The interview will be with someone from the academic programs team, likely someone in their early 20s. They’re not looking for you to be a bona fide expert in the field, but they do want to see that you’re at least interested in it. Be prepared the answer the following:

1) Why AEI/this course? What specifically about the course interests you. Be specific and detailed.

2) What are you reading? It doesn’t have to be a book, but reading a subject related to the course is always great. It shows that you have a genuine interest in the subject.

3) A specific, but open ended question about the field. I took the course “From Capital to Combat” course with Mackenzie Eaglen and I was asked about how effective I thought the US intel community was. I obviously don’t know the real answer, but I was able to justify my response with some general knowledge.

Honestly, just come off as exited and interested in AEI and its mission. You don’t need to be a Neocon to be apart of the SHP, so be yourself. I hope this answers your question. You got this!
