research and all that stuff...

<p>Where did u guys seem to find all those research opportunities. I've been searching an extremely long time but couldn't seem to dig them out. Thnx.</p>

<p><a href="http://web.mit.edu/urop%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/urop&lt;/a> gives an overview of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program.
<a href="http://web.mit.edu/uinfo/research/locate/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/uinfo/research/locate/&lt;/a> also has some information. </p>

<p>I hope that's the kind of info you're looking for.</p>

<p>Generally, though, a lot of people find research jobs by looking through the professor bios on their department's webpage, then emailing a few professors whose research sounds interesting. Professors love UROPs because they are cheaper than grad students but just as hard-working ;)</p>

<p>I meant for high school students, but thanks anyway.</p>

<p>Oops, so sorry.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, besides RSI. They firmly rejected my ass, saying, "there were many more qualified applicants we could accept."</p>

<p>sorry to hear that asiaknight. most of the times, it's all luck really.</p>

<p>many people end up just working with a prof at a local college, maybe just b/c they had an idea and they had the facilities, or b/c of a program designed as such. <em>shrug</em> i never researched anything nifty.</p>
