<p>If you were my kid, I’d say you are probably ok with just the email, now that you’ve spoken. I think now you’re just doing a one-way follow-up. For now. Someone else may have their own experience to share.
I’d also suggest that, if your email address is cryptic, put your name in the subject line: John Smith, follow-up…
The die is now cast, so to say. Good luck. Keep looking.</p>
<p>@lookingforward- I sent the follow up email today.</p>
<p>So I receive a similar email from another professor, but he says that he has to check with hospital policy (he researches at a hospital) to see if he can bring me in as an intern. Do you think the hospital will allow this?</p>
<p>I imagine it all depends on your age for liability/insurance issues.</p>
<p>agreed. will they accept a 17year old?</p>
<p>Don’t know. I had issues working at an engineering company at that age, but I had friends that were volunteer EMTs and such at the same time. I think it all depends on the kind of liability they can take on.</p>
<p>I accepted 16 yo HS kids for summer internships and my son volunteered for a colleague of mine (university professor as well) when he was 15.</p>
<p>My daughter had a HS internship in a UCSD lab. She was required to have lab experience for a hs biotech class. She was working with a colleague of mine UNTIL they found out she was under 18 and they denied her continuation in the program. </p>
<p>How did they find out? She was interpreting for several visiting Ph.D Chinese students, she has excellent communication skills (Mom is a speech pathologist) and daughter could understand some of the mandarin-accented English. I guess the directors asked her what year she was in college and she responded that she was only in high school. They were impressed, but they realized it was an insurance liability.</p>
@aguywholovesrice Who did you get to reply? I’ve emailed so many people their and have gotten no replys.
