<p>How much do these help? Say, if i got one this summer at UPenn, how much would this increase my chance of getting into UPenn? (Esp. if i can get my mentor/prof to write me a kick-a$$ reccomendation)</p>
<p>bump . .</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>what kind of internship? are you filling out forms? that wouldnt help at all. are you working on a personal level with a professor - yeah thats awesome</p>
<p>internship for neuroscience, yes with a professor</p>
<p>each day we examine rat brain slices under the microscope and its action potential graphs and see how the shape of the curve changes as different drugs are added to the brain slice</p>
<p>i will be applying this coming fall</p>
<p>bump…
i guess nobody really knows these things…</p>
<p>blueducky, how did you get the internship? (i’m curious because I’d like to do something similar).</p>
<p>It won’t increase your chances of getting into U Penn specifically, but it’s a great summer program that you should definitely put on your apps.</p>
