High School Lab Internships

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>I’m a sophmore in high school and i’m e-mailing college professors that are currently working on a research project (Psychology: Cognition, Perception etc or Neuroscience) and trying to obtain an internship in their lab during this summer. It has really become an endless search with countless “sorry we are not accepting high school students at this time”, “check back before the summer”, or no response at all. </p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone on the board could direct me towards any professors at Brown University that are currently working on a research project, or a professor you have previously worked with on a project, or has accepted high school students, or anyone that I could contact.<br>
I was hoping to work on a project that I could eventually enter into the Intel Science Talent Search during my senior year. </p>

<p>I second that motion (or fourth it).</p>

<p>That is pretty egocentric to email a Brown professor asking for an internship, mainly because they can use the brilliant Brown students themselves as interns. What are your credentials that makes you better for an internship position than others? Read up on a subject, but you can't people to just let you work at labs.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, but you either need inside connections or be a student at the college that the professor works at.</p>

<p>why aren't you contacting profs. at LOCAL universities? (i'm assuming brown ISNT local since you asked on every board). that might be better. maybe try to sign up for a college class, get to know a professor and build up your connections there.</p>

<p>soymilk is right, a local university or community college would prob. give you a better shot and would be A LOT easier since it would be local and you could run research for a long amount of time...trying to get an internship from any ivy for the impress-factor is stupid...actually trying to do research just to be intel-finalist isn't that cool either. it seems the people who did it and won started their research out of true and personal interest in what they were doing</p>
