<p>"how many people have done actual research work in the topic they specified?"</p>
<p>I have too.</p>
<p>I've been doing research in my field for a little over a year.</p>
<p>ah schemer, stop scouting out your competition =P</p>
<p>I have not (yet). I will this summer at U of M though.</p>
<p>i did for 2 summers = P</p>
<p>intelliot- i think it was suppossed to be around 70 or 75 spots</p>
<p>sonar, did you just contact a professor to do u of m research, or is it through a program?</p>
<p>contacted the professor</p>
<p>Hrmm.. I am doing a project that I have yet to get it to work, but I don't need extra help on it, because I can get it working without the need of a mentor. However, I chosed another topic which kind of interest me and I have made litte research on, and the mentor in this case will be a helpful figure.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this will cause a problem. . . lol</p>
<p>Intelliot ~ I see that you are right, a few more posted at once. Maybe bumping to the top will encourage some more to do so?</p>
<p>Yes, certainly :)</p>

<p>bump.. anyone else?</p>
<p>sonar, did you have any previous research experience? or did you just say something like, hi i've read you papers, i'm intrested, gimme some research?</p>
<p>It helps if you already have some knowledge in the area, but a nicely written little email which politely asks if they would at least consider letting you do work under their supervision can also work.</p>

<p>yeah, i've hooked up with a doc and went in a couple of times. what exactly is the "hook" for these apps?</p>
<p>haha, no, I neither said that nor do I have any previous research experience. I have a feeling that my opportunity is extremely fortuitous. I spoke to a professor about a few things that I'd be interested in, and he spoke to a friend of his and he asked if I was interested. Also, I'm within comuting distance, etc, so that may have helped my case.</p>
<p>what's BM engineering?</p>
<p>Biomedical Engineering.</p>
<p>did the online app ask for two copies?</p>
