I am a sophomore and I want to do some kind of internship either next school year or next summer. There are plenty of places around conducting research but I don’t know how exactly to go about it. Should I just email professors and doctors? Is it better to just visit them and ask in person?
A lot of people have told me that it is unlikely anyone will take me, and I just want to give myself the best chance possible. I don’t have any connections, but I have great academics and I feel like on paper I look impressive. I realize I may sound a bit naive, but I reallllllly want this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
The easiest way to get involved is to talk to a professor at a local university or to apply to a summer research program. What field are you interested in?
I have the same question. I don’t know about you but I’m interested in data science, computer science, and comp. Bio/bioinformatics.
I tried emailing some professors but most didn’t reply and those who did just told me what classes to take, which wasn’t helpful.
