I don't have any inside knowledge (for sure--I work at SpaceX, but not with Kevin et al), but despite the application saying "FIRST students" as the only real requirement, there are U.S. government regulations that would probably preclude accepting anybody not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Someone asked a similar question last year, and got a very similar response.

EDIT:
We don't do any sort of tests to get into university. We only submit our marks and sometimes some additional information about our school/community involvement.

I will see if I can get clarification on this, but I believe Eric is likely correct.

I just received confirmation that the intern program is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent residents only. This is due to ITAR restrictions placed on us by the U.S. State Department. I'm sorry that this information wasn't included in the documentation.

Hey all,

anyone gotten confirmation that their app was recieved?

I'm slightly concerned because I forgot to capitalize the X in the domain name of my email.

I might just be paranoid :P

It's a manual process, so they'll get to you soon.

Domain names are case-insensitive. kevin.org == KeViN.OrG.

It's understandable. I can assure you that in all likelihood, we probably haven't lost your application.

P.S. Sorry, I had to go for the comedy. I asked, and assuming there aren't two people with the first name Arpan submitting applications from your high school, we have received your application. :)

It has been more than a week since the submission deadline and I have not yet gotten a confirmation that my application was received. Could there be an issue with my application or have they not sent out confirmations for all of the applications yet?

I know it's hard to wait, but they will let you know if there is a problem.

Confirmations out?
 
Hello, is it OK if I haven't received a confirmation that my application was received yet?

Arpan 31-05-2014 13:14

Re: 2014 SpaceX Internship Program
 
I haven't recieved an email either. Since the company is growing so fast,it is quite possible the talent acquisition department is busy and no one has gotten around to sending out confirmations yet.

The waiting, though. Its killing me. :P.

This is not making it easier. XD

About how many finalists are selected?

Re: 2014 SpaceX Internship Program
 
So, should we begin to be worried about not receiving a confirmation notice yet? I understand that it can take awhile, though at the same time it has been a fair month or worry :P. Has anyone received their notice yet?

I received notice Wednesday evening (EST) that I had been selected for a phone interview, and have my phone interview this afternoon. I never received any sort of confirmation email acknowledging the receipt of my application so I wouldn't be worried about that. The announcement said applicants would hear back by July 1st so I imagine you're not out of it yet!

But is there a difference between a finalist and someone who makes the final list?
