<p>I want to apply for the Moog Fellowship to WashU, but for the 750 word essay they ask for a description of a research project I was recently involved in or would like to participate in. I live in a dinky little town in SoCal with very limited resources; I don't think anyone here has even heard of a high school student doing research outside of class. Is it crucial that I have done research? Should I seek one out quickly? The closest research universities are two hours away in any direction.</p>
<p>write about one you would like to be involved in. Maybe, look at the washu website and see what kind of research you could get involved in as a freshman and gear it that way.</p>
