So, part of the reason I wanted to go a fifth year of undergrad instead of stopping at my fourth was for the fact that I wanted to get a couple of research opportunities under my belt. I have two lined up, however, they aren’t until the Spring semester. One is an internship with a professor and the other is the Appalachian Student Research Forum.
Can I include them on my resume right now as I’m applying to graduate schools or should I leave them off? Unless I die soon knocks on wood in a mysterious accident, I am guaranteed to do both. Still, since I haven’t done them yet I don’t want to come off as dishonest. I can explain why they’re there in my SOP if need be.
