Cover Letters and Application Bundles

We heard from a student that there were rumours about the team pulling internship applications and not necessarily notifying the impacted students about this. As this is important, I wanted to clarify our procedures.

When you apply several days before a deadline, the team has an opportunity to both review your application material and provide feedback, which provides you the opportunity to make the necessary edits and re-submit your application. The only situation in which we would pull an application is when:

  • You have made an embarrassing or fatal error in your material (addressee, formatting etc.) 
  • And either you haven’t responded to our request to fix the material by the deadline OR there isn’t sufficient time to make edits because you applied the night before the bundle is due.

If the above occurred, we would definitely notify you that your application was pulled. We hope this clarifies things. Please let us know if you have questions on the above.
