Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
You have to find willing professors and express your interests. I know a ton of people that are non-science majors that are doing meaningful research in extremely science-oriented environments. We have an English major in my lab, and I know a ? major in a microbiology lab, also.
 
After continually adding more and more "dream" schools, I am finally done with effing secondaries.
 
LOL @ Bills.

I'm a fan (live close to Buffalo) and there always seems to be a looming disaster in the background when they play. Can't say I am surprised. Bills fans are used to this.
 
Question: is it possible to get any research experience as a non-science major?


Sure, man. I did plenty of research in Psych utilizing my neuroscience background and that was when I was finishing my first degree in Psych (non-science).

Now if you're talking about a completely unrelated science field, say Business, then it is still possible, but you need to apply for positions that you would be qualified for. For instance, you wouldn't want to apply for bench work positions, but you could make a great clinical studies coordinator, or student research assistant that focuses on patients and diagnostic criterion. You have to sell what you have, so if that's a lot of people exp. then go with clinical (it's actually better for medicine, if you ask me, than bench work). Now if you have no people skills and no science background you're probably S.O.L. for any positions outside of your major. I would say the pre-med classes alone should qualify you for something though. Be sure to try to get to know your Bio/Ochem profs so that you can get a reference for some positions.

Good luck!
 
Woot, I just got a job to teach SAT. 👍

I love the Pats. I love Tom Brady. The greatest clutch performer in any sports, right along with MJ and Kobe.

I know how you feel -- I grew up loving Duke Football 🙄

now GO San Diego!! Phillip Rivers, I truly hate you, but you were auto-drafted to my fantasy football team along with LT, so I guess I want you to beat the raiders...
 
Kanye just interviewed on Jay Leno.

Saw this. Eh. Obviously you feel stupid when so many people are directing hate towards you. He was drunk when he did it so probably wasn't thinking correctly. He did this at the European VMAs to 'Justice' but they are good friends now and it was not highly publicized in America.

Still on the hook.
 
Please, man. The Pats are going to get dominated this year!!!

The Bronco's are where it's at. 😉

You've got Orton, we've got Brady, you've got McIdiot, we have Belichick. I rest my case.😉
 
no really it's ok. I see how the way i worded it could be misinterpreted by all the people who post on this thread . . . i think the average # of interviews for people posting in here is like twelve 🙄

my time will come. eventually. 👍

you'll totally be fine
I have no interviews either though I've only been complete for about a week
we got all year to get into med schools 🙂
 
Wow, I feel like my classes are screwing me over with graded work right as I'm about to do one of the busiest weekends of my life.
Boo, classes that think they'll actually teach me something useful.

Agree. I'm getting screwed in my schoolwork.
