What Kellogg, Booth, and MIT See in Your Internship That You Don’t

You’re six weeks into your internship. You’ve hit your deadlines, delivered on what was asked of you, and by every measure that matters inside the firm, it’s been a strong summer. You might even be walking away with a return offer.

What most rising seniors don’t realize is that the admissions committee at Kellogg, Booth, and MIT is not reading your internship the way your manager is. Your manager is evaluating whether you completed the work effectively. The admissions committee is looking for evidence of how you think, how you operate, and what you actually did with the room you were given.

Most seniors don’t know the difference until they’re sitting down to write about their internship and realizing that everything they have to say sounds like a task list.

On Thursday, July 24 at 10am ET, Sia Admissions Founder Susan Berishaj will get into what Kellogg, Booth, and MIT are actually reading when they look at an internship experience, and why candidates who understand that distinction walk away from their summer with something the committee can actually evaluate.
