BMW North America Internship?

[lolcantturn]

Anyone know someone that knows someone that is an intern for BMW?
I'm graduating high school soon and I'd love to have an internship at BMW my junior/senior year of college.
Problem is, I don't even know how'd I fit in. I'm double majoring in psych and criminal justice, my math is too terrible to be an engineer of some sort.

Class of 11' what up. where you going to college?
Idea sounds cool, wish I was on the East coast for opportunities like that..

[lolcantturn]

Drexel University in Philadelphia, how about you?
And yeah, opportunities like this are awesome as long as I have the credibility to embark on it haha

'11 here too. I know BMW has (or had idk) a program at Clemson University (?) I'm not sure if they exclusively get their peeps from there or what. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in...

Nice man! I have a friend who rowed there.
I'm going to UC San Diego. Almost went East Coast, but my SAT wasn't happening.
Got waited at upenn, and got into GWU for the lolz.

Class of 'll again. I don't think they get there interns exclusively from there. I tried finding out once before. I think a lot of there engineers come from there though.

I have a friend who was an intern for their marketing dept. Traveled all over with the Ulimate Drive cars to different dealerships. She had graduated from MTSU in marketing and then applied for BMWs marketing internships. Not sure if they would have a need for psych/criminal justice interns? That may not help you much but at least you know they take students from other schools. And I included a pic I took of her and the other interns when she visited the Nashville dealership so you now have photographic proof that BMW interns do exist in the wild.

I have a friend who works at BMW as an engineer in Spartansburg. Alot of the interns BMW hires are at that plant for operations based assignments. Not trying to be an ass or anything, but what do you see yourself doing for a car company with degrees in psychology and criminal justice? There are going to be a lot candidates applying for BMW USA internships with business or engineering back grounds and those are the people BMW is looking for. If your dream is to work for BMW you may want to consider a more business oriented field of study in order to have the best chance of getting the position.

Pretty much sums up my feelings as well. Best of luck, but remember that BMW has little to no need for the skillset you've outlined.

surprising because I had the impression UCSD was a bit hard to get into. Hope you like geeky quiet people. But interning for BMW would be amazing, GL.

That degree set is going to get you into an HR dept.

If you need to get you math, then get it! when I finished HS, I had just enough math classes to get me to cross the stage. I majored in Psych too, since my math was so terrible, and not having math closed many doors in terms of what I could study. As a result I went back and upgraded my math when I was 20 so I could get out of the Arts faculty and into the Business faculty. ( I seriosuly thought I had a learning disability that inabled me to learn that shit, turns out I wasn't the best at it, but after working at it hard enough I got what I needed to pass).

Suck it up princess, and you can get 'er done too

More true words have never been spoken.
They have no idea what the rest of the company does.
