Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding an internship situation.
In my college, completing an internship this semester is mandatory for earning 2 credits. I’ve already applied to VSSC for the June–July slot. From what I’ve read online, they usually send out confirmation emails about a month in advance, which would be around mid-May.
I’ve already emailed them about my application status, and they responded saying it may take another 1–2 weeks.
The issue is that my college is also offering its own internships (paid, but more like course-based programs) that count toward these credits, and the deadline to apply for those is in just two days.
I’m stuck deciding what to do. Should I wait and take the risk with VSSC, or secure the college-offered internship to be safe? Also, since the credits are important, would it be appropriate to call VSSC to confirm my status, or should I just wait?
Has anyone been in a similar situation or has experience with VSSC timelines? Any suggestions would really help.
Should I try calling the given helpline number?
