<p>I am sorry if my question is very stupid, but I just couldn't confirm this from anywhere.
Is it possible for a freshman student admitted to The College or Arts and Sciences to apply for membership in Penn's Institute for Regenerative Medicine?</p>
<p>It seems to be possible if you’re already active in appropriate research. But I can’t imagine an incoming freshman would have the background to qualify.</p>
<p>IRM Scholars
Students and postdoctoral fellows who have a keen interest in regenerative medicine or stem cell biology are strongly encouraged to join as IRM Scholars. It is the discoveries of IRM Scholars that will drive this field. IRM Scholars will be expected to actively engage in the scholarly, educational and / or policy arm of the IRM. As IRM Scholars, you will have ample opportunity to meet and speak with invited guests of the IRM.</p>
