<p>I am applying for URAP for Spring semester for labs in biological/health sciences. I am a sophomore and I have a very high GPA, but I have NO research experience whatsoever, so I fear this will put me at a big disadvantage. Does anyone with past URAP experience have any advice? How do I make the most of my statements of interest?</p>
<p>Thanks a ton!</p>
<p>Another question… if we are directly contacting professors, where can we find the articles that are cited on their profiles if we want to read them? I can only find abstracts of the articles online.</p>
<p>Here is how you access your professors’ journal articles:</p>
<p>[Connecting</a> from Off Campus-The Library-University of California, Berkeley](<a href=“Wrong shelf. | UC Berkeley Library”>Wrong shelf. | UC Berkeley Library)</p>
<p>once you’ve configured your browser, you can log in with your calnet ID and view stuff that the school has access to.</p>
<p>Depends on the demand, the closer they are to premed-y stuff the higher the demand.</p>
<p>Does anyone have the statistics on the % of people who find a position through URAP? </p>
<p>Also if you’re contacting the professors directly, how do you know that they are looking for undergraduates for research.</p>
<p>Cupola, thank you SO MUCH.</p>
<p>SoCaliii, you don’t know which professors are looking for undegrads. But I figure if you contact enough professors, someone’s gotta reply… maybe. Haha.</p>
