Just to clarify: are you looking for paid or unpaid internship?

>I'm a CS student at a top-tier engineering/CS college
you and every other pajeet

Paid. At this point I'd consider unpaid, but paid. Most of the internships I can find are paid anyway.

You've made the mistake that anything but your experience and how good you actually are matters. School prestige is a safety blanket for people who can't stand out in merit alone.

This.

You're a dime a dozen

>brand value
of course experience and how good you are matters, but this has some weight

Isn't it kind of too late? Just like, work at starbucks or something

Well, the thing is, for unpaid interns (free labor), the only requirement will usually be basic sapience.
For paid ones the requirements are higher, oftentimes close to those for a regular employee.
Don't look just for internships, also look for 0.6 FTE employment. Effectively they are very much the same.
Also please elaborate on "haven't had much luck so far" - approximately how many did you already apply for, and how many got to the point of making an interview?

You wanna do the stuff I don't feel like doing?

>>60010506
Network with fellow students, University career events. Get resume looked over, get connected to hiring managers through personal connections

>>60010687
Yeah I'd be interested. What are you working on?

>>60010687
Does that proposal include showering your bloated carcass at least once a day?

>>60010506
If you're not getting interviews, it's tour resume.
If you're not passing interviews, it's your interview skills.
It shouldn't be hard to get a job with that kind of background; people with shit GPAs from no name schools, no experience, and just basic coding skills get into the industry all the time.

Networking. Networking. Networking. Did I mention networking? That is your single biggest ticket to anything. Also, having a GPA that exceeds a 3.75 doesn't look bad either.

>>60010506
do you look like a fucking slob and have aspergers? have you actually made anything on your own?

also, undergrads arent capable of much of anything worth a damn

In order: no, yes, and I don't disagree, but I have full-time experience in case you didn't read the first sentance of my post

Honestly, the tech industry is pretty flooded, I don't know where kids get the idea that "we more STEM majors XDXD" comes from.
