<p>How basic/advanced is the research that Regent's Scholars carry out in their freshman year, and when do they have the opportunity to begin? In particular, for research in the life sciences...</p>
<p>Thnx in advance for responses.</p>
<p>No idea. It's a brand new program. It sounds like a cool opportunity.</p>
<p>If it's anything like the undergrad research programs, then it's very easy.</p>
<p>Your PI/leading professor just asks you to submit a thesis and writ of intention before beginning your research. For Econ, for example, I would submit a thesis regarding Game Theory decision-making under a certain construction and why I'm interested in the results of this study.</p>
<p>The faculty knows you're new to research, so it's very introductory in the way it's presented to you.</p>
<p>does anybody know when does the research for freshmen actually begins (as soon as school starts, before, in the middle of fall quarter, etc.)?</p>
<p>I don't know the answer to anyone's question, but I wish this was around when I was a freshman... :/</p>
<p>were you contacted by any current regents scholar during april? you should try to contact them to answer your q's, if possible.</p>
<p>no current scholar contacted me in april. were they supposed to talk to me about research?</p>
<p>hmm...well, a couple of my friends got the regents scholar thing and they said they got emails...that's weird...
i don't think the emails were specifically about research...they were more about the regents scholar program as a whole</p>
