<p>hey,</p>
<p>surprise surprise i'm here again (if anyone remembers lol) but that's besides the point.</p>
<p>my friend got top 40 in the intel science/research competition and now he gets to meet president obama in washington dc during march. he'll get a signed photograph from him and will be able to talk to him and all that jazz. i'm extremely happy for him but also jealous and regretful that I didn't take the intel opportunity. oh well, I have to get over it. learn from the past, right?</p>
<p>well, so this is my question. is there anything like an intel competition for college students? obviously college research is much more in depth and involves a higher degree of skills than high school research does, correct? so is there any opportunity to join major-league research competitions and be honored by awesome things <em>cough</em> meet awesomethebestamazinglycool president obama <em>cough</em>?</p>
<p>I'm just curious to know because I'd really like a chance to do something like intel, but now my chances lie in college, if anything exists. I know right now it sounds like I want to do it because of the honor that comes with it, but quite honestly I'm looking to do research in college ANYWAY in the medical field. I just figured there could be other things I could do with my research, like enter competitions.</p>
<p>any advice or any place I could search?</p>
<p>blarghh!!! >__<</p>
<p>thanks for reading.</p>
