Hi, I did StandOut Connect in summer 2023 and would highly recommend. After the resume workshops and interview process (I think I got interviews with 5 companies), I matched with a private practice medical clinic in Boston founded by a Stanford alum. Started off leading their social media marketing, but later transitioned to a research role. Conducted a literature review on a treatment and presented if the company should start using it. Cool stuff for a teenager imo! Standout Connect's role is essentially to improve your marketability as an intern and then connect you with companies, who take it from there. Happy to answer your questions.

I had a good experience with the standout connect program. They teach you about a bunch of professional tools I had heard of before and ended up being really useful in the internship. I also liked that you get to practice legitimate interviewing with different companies run by Ivy League alumni. I would recommend that you expect to apply multiple times though before you get in to the program.
