This meme brilliantly captures the cruel statistical distribution of internship selection! The top panel shows someone with a 2.5 GPA stepping on a rake (classic physics example of stored potential energy converting to kinetic energy right into your face). Meanwhile, the bottom panel features the overachieving skateboarders with perfect GPAs and research experience still hitting the same wall.
It's like Newton's Third Law of Academic Motion: for every qualification you have, there's an equal and opposite rejection email. The internship market doesn't follow rational scientific principles—it's more like quantum mechanics where uncertainty reigns supreme and observation changes outcomes!
