Hey guys. I’m trying to get a research internship at a university, so I was wondering if the prestige of said university would impact admissions. For example: Would research at like Stanford be better for college applications than research at a less “prestigious” school?
Thanks. I’m sorry if that comes across as pretentious.
From what I understand, how deep you get into your research, how far you take it, how much you contributed, and how it ties in with your passion is more important than the institution.
I agree that what you do is more important than where you do. For Research, it would be good to get associated with a Professor/ Mentor around your home so that you could commute there all year long.
