I would like to thank Comet once again for providing me an opportunity to intern for them. I've founded it extremely hard to secure internships over my high school career, but I'm grateful that I came across this opportunity and will never forget it.
- James Kim, Summer 2022 Intern

Comet helped me understand where I stand among the other students who are trying to apply for the same colleges as I am and also helped me bring motivation within myself to do something more extraordinary which would in turn benefit everyone around me.
- Rajoshi Basu, Summer 2021 Intern

I thought interning for Comet was a great experience that provided me with a lot of great opportunities. I learned a lot from professionals as well as my peers and it was just a lot of fun. I am grateful for the opportunity and can't wait to see the launch of Comet. I would love to get further involved with comet as well!

The application assisted me greatly throughout picking my colleges and managing my deadlines. It made the college application process less stressful, and I am more confident in my abilities now! - Naina Panjwani, Summer 2021 Intern
