"I completed eight paid and two unpaid internships. I did so many internships to learn and increase my chances of getting a great job after college."
"I didn't have much experience in my freshman year, but I applied to different unpaid internships on Indeed. I put my high school experience into the application."
"Eventually, my resume was full of unpaid internships, but companies didn't know that because I didn't state whether they were paid or unpaid."
"I had to decide whether to do worse in internships or get lower grades. I thought about whether I wanted to pursue an MBA or a master's degree."

She sought to gain experience to stand out as a communications major from a non-target school. Despite a 3.1 GPA, she prioritized internships over grades, which led to opportunities at companies like DocuSign, Intel, and Nvidia. Li's strategy involved leveraging her high school experiences in applications and omitting the paid/unpaid status of internships to enhance her resume.
