Alex,

You get paid. It's a summer internship for recently graduated HS students/college students. Go ahead and apply!

I also did it at Goddard in 2005 -- I can answer questions as well.

How competitive is it to get in? will 50,000 students apply and only 50 get in?

It's competitive, but not that extreme. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I want to say it was somewhere in the 10-15% range. Definitely worth applying.

The program is for undergrads and grad students. At Ames last summer, most of the team leads were grads, and everyone else was undergrad.
