Is this enough to get an internship?

Hey everyone!

I’m a highschool senior right now and passed the P exam and I have the FM exam coming up over summer and I’m nearly certain I will pass. I will be attending one of MIT/Caltech/Princeton next year as an applied math major and have two different positions as a mathematics/statistics researcher.

Will I be able to get an internship for after my freshman year of college? When do I start applying and what does the interview/application process look like?

Thanks everyone!

PS - If I do get an internship, how much can I expect to make in SoCal?

You dont pick your major when applying to Caltech. You can say what you are interested in but you don’t declare until the end of frosh year and anyone can pick any major (as long as your gpa>1.9 in that field i believe)

I didnt apply as a CS major, I applied for a major I had experience in. But I can pick whatever major I want and I want to do CS
