Thank you so much for posting this information!  ;D

This is exactly what I am looking for. What a great way to get a foot in the door in the industry! If (and that's a big IF, but we can dream big, right?) all goes well, I will be attending CMU next year as a transfer student, and this internship happens to be right in Pittsburgh. I've just sent off my resume. I couldn't be happier right now.  :D
