Have any of you ever tried to get an internship at a publisher or literary magazine? I'm currently perusing The Paris Review's internship info and realizing: a) a majority of their interns are likely Ivy League, b) I don't have many literary essays I can present, and c) I have no hope of ever landing this.

You can write academic-grade papers outside of academia; generally they don't expect a marked version of it, from what I understand.
Also, an internship at the Paris Review does sound fun regardless of how many favourite writers of OP's were interns there.
