Benvinidos a Miami, Florida! (I keep singing the Will Smith song for those of you who know it). I matched with my #5 choice, the Mailman Center for Child Development. The track is working with kids with cancer, which will be challenging. I also found out that a girl from D.C. that I work with right now is going to be in the same program with me next year so it will be nice to know someone! It's farther than I really wanted to move but after having 3 feet of snow this winter I could be ready for a 70 degree winter! I told my dad that I was moving closer to him but as it turns out, Miami is only one hour closer to Atlanta than D.C. is, haha!
I am pretty surprised because it was a lower pick than I thought I would get. It looks like this year, four out of five applicants (81%) were matched to their top 3 choices and 5% were matched to their 5th choice. I really know how to beat the odds apparently, someone should take me to Vegas. :)
I am going to keep updating this blog as I get ready to move and as I settle in Miami so keep checking back for updates!
Here are some interesting statistics that show how difficult it is to get an internship right now.
