<p>In terms of ECs I’m the founder and captain of Science Olympiad at my school, with several 2nd place medals at the state level. I’ve won some grand awards from the US Public Health Service and Virginia Dental Association. I’m also a volunteer for the National Foundation for Cancer Research and will be attending Governor’s school for life science+ agriculture. I applied (and got rejected from) three internships, so at the time I didn’t think of applying anywhere else and the deadline for summer positions everywhere I’ve looked have passed. I did manage to meet and get contact info from several NIH and FDA scientists at a recent conference (woohoo!) and they seemed interested in me as an intern. However, positions will only be available after this fall when i submit my college apps… Thanks for the feedback though. I’ll try looking for some local jobs. </p>
