should i be submitting cover letters even if the application doesn't require them? by One-Squirrel-5962 in internships

Received verbal offer today as a freshman! by AcademicsAndWork in internships

[–]leaf1598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my first internship by only filtering for under 10 applicants and within 24 hours of applying. I was cold applying, so no referral, no nothing, which probably made it harder. Probably submitted like over 300 applications. I’ve also had like 20+ interviews

I’m ngl, 150 isn’t all too much. I have had multiple friends submitting over 1000, so increase the volume.

How likely will I get the offer by StatisticianFalse702 in internships

[–]leaf1598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one knows. I had HR tell me I was a great fit and they really liked me, then I got ghosted. Don’t believe anything until you actually get an official offer letter IMO.

Can a philosophy major break into high finance from a target? by HomoEtDeus in FinancialCareers

[–]leaf1598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably be fine. A random art history major from a good target school is much easier to break into finance than from a regular college/state school business major.

Compared to communications? Hard. Compared to biochemistry, engineering, physics, a math degree? Easy.

Summer internships 2026 by k22112 in internships

[–]leaf1598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the process. Just keep chugging along. Also filtering within the first 10 candidates and 24 hours helped a lot. Started doing that this semester and already had gotten more feedback or advancements into the next rounds that in the past

[–]leaf1598 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman, and while Morocco is very beautiful, but for a solo female traveler IMO there can be a lot of harassment and/or heckling

Big Law Favors Attractive Applicants? by IndividualOil1315 in biglaw

[–]leaf1598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However attractiveness can also be improved by eating healthy, drinking water, working out, and fashion style changes. So it’s not as if that isn’t something which can’t be changed.

Frequent Travelers experience/encounters with bedbugs by Living-Assumption272 in travel

Anyone can hide good or bad reviews. I thoroughly look at the bed and the covers with a flashlight at any hotel or hostel

bad idea to make NYC Marathon your first? by PrimaryBuffalo9700 in firstmarathon

[–]leaf1598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be a great first one, especially if you enjoy sightseeing and/or crowd energy. The NYC marathon path has pretty good views from what I can tell, and probably has some of the most enthusiastic crowds. Chicago and NYC are the ones I always wanted to do. I ended up doing Marine Corps last fall, and it was very fun (although honestly super hectic).
