For those who worked in research outside of a set program...

<p>first post, yay=)</p>

<p>For those of you who worked in research (science) for a summer with a professor at some college outside of any set program like cornell nanobiotech, hshsp, etc......</p>

<p>....I have a few questions and if you could answer them, I would be really grateful!</p>

<p>1) Where did you do the research? With who?</p>

<p>2) How did you decide who to contact about a research opportunity? When/how did you contact them? Did you send a resume? Write a nice letter?</p>

<p>3) How/when did the professor respond?</p>

<p>4) What did you do about room/boarding/food/etc.?</p>

<p>Thanks again! A list of names of professors and the places they work at and whether or not they are open to letting high school students work with them should be helpful to many ppl here=)</p>
