<p>I asked a couple of professors if i could work in their labs. They said they'd get back to me. But i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. So i wanna know if there are any research stuff available in the fall? or spring?
I live in NJ if that helps</p>
<p>Depends. What are your qualifications?</p>
<p>I don’t want to make this into a chance thread. But 3.91 academic GPA (without electives. But 3.9 with electives. Sal of my class) w/5 APs in class + self-study. Got 5s in psych calc bio and stats, and 4 in physics. Toughest courseload possible, 32 ACT (will retake in sept), 800 SAT MATH II (will take bio and chem in nov), did a research project before and got published three times on international database, prez/founder of debate and will start a fundraiser to go on competitions for the first time in over two decades, and quiz bowl captain. There’s more but that’s the gist of it.</p>
<p>Great i just made it into a chance thread lol</p>
<p>Note that i am taking college courses and i asked the professors in those courses for lab positions.</p>

<p>Nothing? AM i a failure in life? WHAA!!! <em>criess so hard, screaming out “MOMMMYYY”</em></p>
<p>Emailing professors is your best bet, honestly. You can also ask one of your high school science teachers to help you conduct independent research to enter in a competition like Intel or Siemens.</p>
<p>ok thanks. There’s a science research (my mistake) class that helps you prepare for science fairs etc in my school but i didn’t take it because i wanted to take the TOUGHEST COURSELOAD. So i guess that mightve been poor judgement on my part</p>
<p>You can partake in research outside of that class as well.</p>
<p>You mean that i could do my own project with the help of the teacher of that class after school, and still NOT BE OFFICIALLY IN THE CLASS?</p>
<p>Well maybe you should FIND OUT THE SPECIFIC POLICY AT YOUR SCHOOL.</p>
<p>
Good luck finding /any/ kind of research opportunity with your attitude :)</p>
<p>^i was getting impatient. Jeez. Im sure my attitude will not interfere. Or at least i won’t allow it :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um, yes? Email your motha****in teacher.</p>
<p>Email the teacher! Or you can reach out to local universities (like, gee, Rutgers?) and volunteer there. I’m assuming you just want to stand out with research under your belt?
+1 to what glassesarechic said too. You can do things outside of the classroom. It still counts.</p>
