I'm a junior majoring in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and minoring in math. I have a GPA of 3.75, belong to the Cal Poly Honors Program, have work experience (although not industry related, but have to start somewhere), volounteer activities, a nice resume. So why am I getting turned down by every internship I apply to?

I went to the job fair, dropped off seven resumes, tried to talk to the recruiters as much as possible to make them remember me...haven't heard anything from them

Applied to numerous Boeing internships through their online process, and everyone that I apply to ends up saying "No longer under consideration."

I applied to JPL, through the career center interview trac, and didn't even get preselected for an interview for a summer internship.

I'm starting to get discouraged.
