<p>State Finalist for Governors School (probably going) for Life Sci. and Med.</p>

<p>Research Opportunities in Nanobiotechnology Field; fabrication of devices for tissue engineering-->Definitely interested in this field</p>

<p>I've applied to a numerous amount of summer programs (pre-college/internships/etc.) so hopefully one of those works out</p>

<p>Nothing too spectacular…but there is stuff I haven’t mentioned…Oh well, I’ll hope for the best!</p>

2

<p>all these views and no responses? Am I that unqualified haha.</p>

3

<p>I have a bunch of friends who did Governors school and came to Princeton… It must be a pretty impressive experience.</p>

4

<p>So you would recommend doing that? (I still haven’t decided) because I have other summer experiences to choose from.</p>

5

<p>Any more advice/incite?</p>

6

<p>I went to my states governor school, it was a blast and is a good thing to put down</p>

7

<p>excellent. yeah it looked really cool. If i decide against it, i’ll end up doing an internship which would be awesome as well…</p>

<p><em>shrugs</em> It’s hard to say - you haven’t really done anything to keep you out but you also haven’t done a lot to get in. Have you spoken to the coaches at Princeton? 'Cause I know jr yr is when lax kids get recruited.</p>

9

<p>I haven’t really considered attempting to get recruited (and i haven’t been approached by any coaches)…a couple of kids from my team have been recruited and given full rides but i dont think im that caliber of player. and princeton has a dang good team.</p>

<p>also, even if recruited, my true passion lies in science(hoping to go med). i think i have several hook points i could stress in my field of interest and i’ve been really working hard in school to pursue this…not so much on the field/in the weight room.</p>
