Honestly just apply for anything that you're interested in / matches your skillset; there's not really a list of "recommended" opportunities. Internship hunting is a statistics game, so the more places you apply for (not low effort shit, actually tailor your resume, go to career fairs, connect with recruiters, etc.) the higher your chances are for getting something. Here's a list of places that I look into: There are several online lists for summer '25 internships, Here's a GitHub list: https://github.com/Ouckah/Summer2025-Internships Here's another one I found from this post: https://www.thefreshdev.com/internships Use a boolean search query and set up a job alert on linkedin. I'm using ("intern" OR "internship" OR "co-op") AND "software" AND "summer" AND "2025" If you're interested in research, you can look into NSF REUs . They pay you to research over a summer like a PhD student. I got a paper published through this program. They're usually less competitive than company internships, but again, it's research focused. If there's a company that is working with your department, DEFINITELY get close to them. I'm at UTEP, and Bloomberg and Google are hiring quite a bit from the student body that participates in their events. This is a very reliable way to get your foot into the bigger companies.

Apply to jobs even if they don’t seem like they fit. Put that your expected grad is 2026 (because expected graduation is BS anyways) and just grind learning and leetcode. You’ll be fine More on reddit.com

In my opinion no. You can try applying for the experience of just applying and maybe you’ll get lucky and get an interview somewhere. It’s nothing against you I was in the some boat, I was looking for internships ASAP and I found that a lot required at least passing an intro DSA class.
