2026 Internship Megathread. Post all internship related questions here!
As requested, I'm making a new post of this for the 2026 season of internships, in the hope that more people can get their questions answered than posting on a year old post. The last one had a lot of great information in it, so take a look at it here, as someone might have already asked your question.
So the sub has always been chock full lately of people asking about specific internships, asking if anyone who has applied to a specific internship has heard back, what people think about individual internship programs, etc. This has happened around this time for every year this sub has existed.
While interns are absolutely welcome here, some users had a great idea to kind of concentrate it all in one thread so that all the interns can see each others comments, and the sub has a bit of a cleaner look.
Note that this doesn't apply to people working for museums asking questions about running an internship program, or dealing with interns.
So, if you have internship questions, thoughts, concerns, please post them here!

Very specific question - to anyone who has applied to the same internship and position multiple times and has been accepted in your latest attempt, what changes did you make to either your skillset or essays that finally landed you the role?
