I passed the software engineering intern interview process but wasn't matched with a host (I assume because I applied late). I then reapplied for the fall and am back at the host matching stage.
I have lots of high-quality programming experience, a MS from Stanford, and am now wrapping up a PhD. 4.0/4.0 GPA.
If you work at Google and want a fall intern who will work his ass off for you, please email me: [email protected] (not my real name - will reply with my real name - don't want it associated with this post :)
My recruiter recently indicated that I should try to reach out to Googlers as it might help draw attention to my application.
Edit: For the past two years I have been building search interfaces and programming tools. However, I'm flexible - happy to work on just about anything!
