We know of no other organization in the US whose resources rival our own. When we began counseling Interim students in 1980, our 46 options barely filled a shoebox. Please keep in mind that we do not administer these programs ourselves. We have long-standing professional relationships with many of them, and we are often able to open doors for students which might have otherwise remained closed, but programs always make the final decision with respect to whom they choose to accept. While we cannot, therefore, guarantee placement in any particular program, we strive to accurately estimate students' chances of admission.
Some programs are quite flexible and accessible, while others are highly competitive and structured.
Please understand that Interim programs are highly diverse. Keep in mind that many internships which provide neither remuneration nor assistance with accommodation also happen to be among the most prestigious and rewarding. Whenever we refer a student to an organization, we are placing our professional reputation on the line. Not every Interim program is appropriate for every student, and we reserve the right to use our own discretion in choosing which programs to recommend. For the most part, however, Interim students demonstrate impressive degrees of initiative, resourcefulness, and enthusiasm, and we are able to present them with an extraordinary array of opportunities.
