The Class of 2013 was just as successful with 100% internships this year. We've been at 100% internship offers since 2004 with the exception of the summer of 2009 where we were at 99%. The Class of 2013 also came back from their summer internships strong with over 40% of the 2 year class with full time offers from their internships and many others still waiting to find out.
Congratulations to the incredible achievement of the Class of 2012 and the success of the Class of 2013. We look forward to working with you to make your recruiting experience this year outstanding.
