The internship was interesting and some of the questions caught me off gaurd. Definetly prep for questions a non-profit organization would ask. Many of the questions where very specific on how you'd handle a specific task in that role.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process started with a phone interview, followed by a matching process. Then, there was an interview with the sponsors who selected me. Since I was selected by three sponsors, I had three separate interviews with them. The sponsors reached out after the matching phase. Each sponsor had their own interview style. For my data fellowship role, only one sponsor's interview was somewhat technical.

Behavioral Case Presentation
The first step was submitting a resume and a short answer action plan about a public school scenario. Then, there was a quick, informal phone interview where they asked about my interests and career goals. The group interview involved breaking into small groups (5-6 people) to act as a consulting team and decide which charter school company should take over a specific school. Afterward, we had to give a group presentation explaining our selection process and the criteria we used. Even though I was chosen as a summer fellow, they couldn't place me after two months because they didn't get enough projects from partners. This was annoying because they told us not to look for other jobs after we were selected, but they also couldn't guarantee placement. I talked to others this happened to, so they really need to improve their selection process.
