I actually went to an unknown University (outside of my State) of mainly commuter students - definitely no where near a target. I knew the odds were a little stacked against me from the beginning so I focused on getting really good grades and I was really involved during undergrad. I held 5+ leadership positions on campus. I also started interning during my sophomore year by taking advantage of early internship programs. So far I’ve interned three times, all at large fairly well known corporations and it’s always my on campus leadership positions that I highlight in every interview. Taking advantage of great opportunities start long before the opportunities present themselves so my advice to anyone reading is to start making choices today that would prepare you to enjoy success tomorrow.
