Do you think we can get internships at established companies like NYT, BBC or Buzzfeed?

# data[].attributes.body
Ms Illydea: the INT team does its best to get such companies as our partners. However, sometimes, there are a few factors which might hinder us from proceeding. One is that these companies are overseas, and sometimes visa issues fall through. Another is that the internship period for us may not fall within the period that the commies are recruiting. So, while yes, we do our best to get the best partners, sometimes things do not work out. However, we do have fantastic partners we have worked with over the year such as NBC Universal, Sony Pictures, Universal Music, Warner Music,which still have that international and regional reach.

Ms Illydea: GPA definitely does play a role in determining where you will intern. More so for INTO. We send our best students overseas because they have demonstrated that they have the acad capability. Having said that, GPA is not the only factor. we look at your CCA, your attitude in class, how streetwise you are, and whether you will be able to survive with out family support for six months overseas.
