<p>First off, I'm a sophomore.</p>
<p>I'd like to get an internship somewhere within DC or MD. My main interests are engineering and scientific research. I go to a prestigious school in DC, and I perform very well there.</p>
<p>What's the best way to go about finding opportunities like the ones that I'm looking for?</p>
<p>My sister (who is now at MIT) volunteered at NIH, amidst several other accomplishments. But I really don't know where to begin.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
