Am I wrong to assume it'd be a bad idea to ask my university teachers, whom I've only had for 1 semester?
(so I should ask my HS teachers)

No, ask your college professors, the typical rule is that high school no longer exists after you graduate. It is a pain when you are just starting out, but we all faced this dilemma and internships etc do not expect gold LOrs from first years.
Get letters from your university profs. Ideally, they will have gotten to know you a little more outside of class (ie. before and after class, office hours). It may be helpful if you talk to them about why you're pursuing that internship.
Hmm, I'm trying to apply to NIH SIP in particular. The online instructions video for their app says to list UG grades and classes, and also HS grades and classes if applying as a freshman.
So do you guys think that this means HS teacher LOR's are still as bad? (last question, I swear!)
