Five Weeks Into My Internship At CoreVest
By: Jorge Sanchez, SSP Class of 2020
I did not expect my internship experience to go by so quickly. There are only about 5 - 6 weeks remaining, and I have learned quite a lot in my short time here. Coming to learn more about real estate, it has garnered my interest, mainly the financial side of it and the amount of money being moved around for specific properties.
Being behind the scenes and seeing the loans distributed, the precautions one takes with each borrower, and the amount of info needed to secure every transaction seemed daunting at first. However, I have become accustomed to this world. It’s such a fascinating side of real estate.
I have found myself learning new programs, formulas, and other financial aspects that pertain to this niche within the industry. This internship has taught me that there is a whole world full of knowledge that experiences like this offer.
My Internship At Willkie Farr & Gallagher
By: Elias Barcacel, SSP Class of 2021
I chose this internship because finishing my first year of undergraduate and receiving the opportunity to work and gain experience from a law firm like Willkie Farr & Gallagher was a no-brainer. Also, being that it was in the city and such a big name, the opportunities at Willkie are endless and being around lawyers and real cases is something that is going to help me in undergraduate and in law school. Through this experience, I hope to learn the day-to-day of lawyers, as well as how to research, read, analyze, and understand real life cases.
