Chances for Langsdorf Scholarship if lacking research experience

[13woodrm]

<p>I am planning on applying for the Langsdorf Fellowship at WashU, but I have no formal research experience. I get the feeling that this component is extremely important for this scholarship, so I'm starting to wonder if I should bother applying at all (seeing as I have to leave the research experience box blank).</p>

<p>Anyone know how important it is?</p>

<p>Anyone know someone who has received this fellowship that didn't do research?</p>

<p>I might note that I have taken part in a selective technology internship at my school, and I plan to study computer or electrical engineering, but again, this is not formal research experience.</p>

<p>AFAIK, Langsdorf doesn’t require research (either to be accepted or to keep the scholarship once here). I know a few who had research experience in high school, but nearly all that I know had 0.</p>
