<p>So what advice would you guys give to a sophomore about how to find internships or research?</p>
<p>Apply to every company under the sun in your field.</p>
<p>Do you know any upperclassmen? Maybe their company is looking for people and perhaps they can put in a good word for you. It isn’t uncommon among some smaller companies.</p>
<p>If there are companies that are located near your school, they might want an intern to work part-time during the school year. If that’s the case, you’ll have significantly less competition.</p>
