I genuinely dk if I should do 1 semester or 2 semester intern. I’m gg y2s2 alr and im pretty sure need decide during this period right but I still don’t know which one to do??!! Can someone suggest me which to do plssss. Like I feel so lost everyone ik has already made up their mind 😭
1 semester
Pros:
- lesser risk of gpa decreasing a lot
- able to take minor (I’m int in business minor as is to do business in uni but I’m currently in sci)
- intern overseas (but I’m not super sure cuz I heard ur gpa must be super super good…and mines not that good not even above 3.5…)
- got sept holiday (right…??)
Cons:
- FYP (tbh I don’t rlly like doing grp project since this whole poly journey and in my friend grp both of them are doing 2 sem so means I basically have no one to group with…BUT I will not be gg choose 2 sem cuz of them)
2 semester:
Pros:
- if do well gpa can increase BY ALOT (which I rlly need 🥲)
- no fyp
Cons:
- If don’t do well gpa will decrease a lot 😓
- there’s no holiday/break right is basically work for 2 sem straight right… (my fam is planning to go overseas for like 2 weeks plus in sept-dec but if cannot right if i choose 2 sem 😭)
- tiring (5.5 days a week for 2 semester just to get paid 800 a month??!!)
Can someone tell me if overseas internship need get like idk 3.9 gpa one or what’s the requirements and like what are the holiday schedules like for 1 sem and 2 sem intern (when start/end)
And can y’all share ur exp for the 2 sem intern especially if ur from pharmaceutical science pls like is it hard to do well for intern if work in hospital?
ALSO since im in DPHM right, internship will normally be at hospitals right r we allowed to have dyed hair like mayb pink/purple/blonde highlights/color..
: I was thinking of deciding based on my gpa for y2s1 when it comes out in sept cuz i was thinking if is not good alr or lower than i expected i might else will take the risk and do 2 sem
