<p>Yeah that. I keep hearing about people taking summer college courses and doiong internships and I'm wondering why the hell my counselor didn't mention this to me.</p>

<p>Can someone give me some information about this, especially things related to the science/medicine field or at Texas colleges since that's where I live.</p>

<p>Go to the parents forum, there are always discussions about summer programs</p>

<p>Thanks, anywhere else.</p>

<p>Hi! Here is a link to information about summer internships in Biomedical Research just for high school students, including an online application
<a href="http://www.training.nih.gov/student/internship/internship.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.training.nih.gov/student/internship/internship.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Also, I found think link to a quite good selection of summer internships in the bilological/natural sciences at colleges, zoos, botanical gardens, hospitals, laboratories, etc:</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Thanks, I wish I could hug you.</p>

<p>So all of that stuff is available for high school students, some of it sounds pretty intense, nanobiotechnological research.</p>

<p>Elbereth! thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for biomedical internships! this is perfect! many, many thanks</p>

<p>How do we know which ones are suitable for high schoolers?</p>

<p>Haha...thanks! <hugs> I'm sure someone w/ the sn "Texasmathwhiz" could handle nanobiotechnological research. Keep in mind that you won't be doing these completely on you own, but under the tutelage of a knowledgable professor, or maybe in groups of h.s. students working together.</hugs></p>

<p>All of the summer internships are meant for high school students--in fact on the second site it says in big, bold, blue lettering "For High School Students" lol.</p>

<p>Some of the internships located in the Lone Star state include:

<p>Good luck finding one you like. Some of these look really facinating--I wish I had done these as a high schooler, not only b/c it would give me an edge in admissions, but also for hands-on experience.</p>

<p>Oh, by the way, if you are seriously interested in any of the summer internships for h.s. students, I STRONGLY advise you to apply ASAP since the deadlines for many of these are coming up soon. Also, it's a good idea to ask for a recommendation from a science teacher.</p>

<p>Did you find any you were interested in?</p>

<p>Yeah, I liked most of them. I also found one at UT Southwestern but unfortunately it's only in January so I'll have to wait a year.</p>

<p>Elbereth, thanks for the info. I too, have been looking for interniships or summer programs, but haven't had much luck.</p>
