<p>I was accepted to JHU Early Decision and am excited to be a neuroscience major and premed. I am most excited about doing research in college but I've never done any before. Is there anywhere that says things that JHU is expecting from researching students or what professors look for in students that want to be part of their research? I know that you don't officially need any research experience and that they know that many students are new to it, but if there's anything I can read to be better prepared for researching, that would be great.</p>
<p>Congrats on getting accepted! I don’t actually go to Johns Hopkins (looking to transfer), but my advice would be to find skills that you have acquired (through school, work, self-taught, etc.) that make you a good research candidate and put those on your resume. For instance, did you learn a specific software in a class that might be useful? Have you worked with data before at any time? Things like that. That’s how I got my research position! Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks! Yeah I learned Java and am in Compsci and Stat, so those are probably important skills. I’ll definitely mention that.</p>
<p>Here is a link to JHU Undergraduate Neuroscience Student opportunities - not the only ones available but you will see what things they are looking for. Also suggest that once on campus you go to the career center - they can help you tailor your resume.

<p>Thanks…those links are great!</p>
