<p>I want to start getting involved in some undergrad research either this upcoming year or the next (sophomore and junior).</p>
<p>I'm wondering...when you ask professors about working in their lab, do they care a lot about your grades? Is it competitive?</p>
<p>Whether it's competitive or not depends on your school and how many students want to do research compared to the number of available labs.</p>
<p>I was never asked my GPA when applying for lab jobs, and never gave it.</p>
<p>Yeah, it really depends. At my school I think most PIs ask for GPA and resume when starting.</p>
<p>That's interesting. I'll just have to see for myself then. Thanks.</p>
