Anthony Said:

Is it bad if I don't do an internship as a freshman in college?

We Answered:

It is pretty late to apply - most REU programs had Feb deadlines. But you can still ask around and see if someone in your school is willing to take you on for the summer.

Most students won't do an internship after their first year (or often even after their second) but having one earlier helps a lot when it comes to finding one the summer after. You'll get into much better programs with some experience behind you.

For college students majoring in engineering, what is the minimum GPA that employers would find acceptable?

We Answered:

Depends on the firm. I've seen some elite firms at 3.2, and others at 3.0. But usually it's not really the GPA, it's the degree.
Even a 4.0 can be beat with an MS.

Bertha Said:

Do extracurricular activities matter in college?

We Answered:

You could potentially put all of those things on a resume. Haven't you ever written a good resume before? Ya gotta put down everything. All of those things make you sound like a highly qualified multi-talented genius.

If you're involved in a ton of clubs you can say you're "team-oriented" or "out-going" or "involved in the community" or other bullshlt phrases that interviewers like to hear about you. Of course they matter as long as their relevant and make you look good. ESPECIALLY the language stuff, this is a globalized economy, people who speak two or more languages are highly valuable and in fairly short supply.
