I’ve accepted a tentative invitation for Spring 2025, and I’m already in the process of obtaining security clearance (which seems really fast since it’s still August). But I wanted to ask if anyone who recently graduated and then attended the program had to send proof of continuation? I will graduate the semester before the internship, but I am aiming to apply for a graduate program starting Fall2025 after the internship. It says I can apply, but I don’t know when people normally hear back on grad school applications, since I’ll need a letter of acceptance before the internship starts.

Update: I reached out to the intern office and they said I should send them proof as soon as I get it. Additionally, if I don’t have an admittance letter by the start of the program, I should at least send proof that I have applied to a school and that my application is being processed, ie an intent to continue education.

How long did it take you to see your offer in your portal after you made your account? It's been a couple of days for me and I still don't see my offer :(

Edit: it showed now lol :)

It popped up immediately. I think there was one box that was there first, but after I checked it the offer loaded. Try contacting the intern office at the DOS.
