Admissions Advice

Any suggestions on remote summer internship and research opportunities for high school juniors, 2020?
Answered

I am a high school junior at Mexico City and internships here, even without considering the current pandemic, are impossible to find. I am interested in physics/astronomy/astrophysics/mathematics/economics. Do you have any ideas of research or internship opportunities I may be able to get for summer 2020?

Hi! Although I'm not from the area so I'm not aware of anything, I reccomend talking to someone about it like a science teacher. Also, if theres a company/business in your area with a focus on these interests, you might do a cold call and be able to get an internship, even if they aren't advertising for one. I wanted to get an internship this summer at a business I am interested in, and they had nothing available on their website, but when I called them they said they could work something out and I got an internship. Basically just be super proactive. It will probably backfire sometimes, but it will pay off in the end.

Thank you! When you called the business, did you have your CV at hand, or how did you go through the process?

I didn't have one with me although it wouldn't hurt, they may ask about your experience then send you an application where you can give them a resume or CV. I would just think of the most impressive things/the things that apply to the job the most to tell them about.

I would suggest you try volunteering virtually for the American Red Cross.
