Myth: Summer jobs won't help you get into college

<p>Miami, perhaps you daughter could see if her institution has a research program. I know that some colleges have established programs to connect students to research professors. I don’t know where your daughter goes to school but the school probably has a program like this, although it may be too late to apply.</p>

<p>If it is, often times professors will allow students to work in their labs free and independent of any type of program. She could directly email some professors and set up an ad hoc summer research position.</p>
