I'm having a great time in lab. This is my first exposure to biomedical research and I can't ask for a better experience! I'm learning so much and doing a lot, and the pay doesn't hurt either 🙂
Research experiences thread right here!

Post all you like on being in the actual lab! I figured I'd make a new thread since this one is primarily for the applications.

I'd figure I'd just post my experience so far here as TexasSurgeon's thread unfortunately did not seem to take off yet.
So far it's pretty amazing! I've learned a lot, and time seems to have past very quickly. Almost everyone works crazy hours though.
Haven't met a ton of other summer students unfortunately, but hopefully that'll change in the last month and a half.

What are some second rate summer research programs that would take someone with a low gpa...like 3.4-3.5
Do you have previous research experience? I encourage you to apply to some NSF REU programs.
Hey what's up, I was part of the 2012 thread a year or so back for the Mayo SURF 2012. I'm graduating next May and I was wondering if there were any of these programs that would allow a recent graduate to participate.
Either that, or I'd have to apply for a post-bacc research position....
Also, I recall a couple kids having a sub 3.2 GPA in my SURF program with had little research experience so it doesn't hurt to apply! They told me their LORs and PS were top-notch though.

I'm currently a sophomore with a 4.0 GPA and no research experience. Would it be possible to get a position in my situation? The school I go to doesn't really have an undergraduate research program for pre-med, and I am not able to do research in Biology (my major) this year due to not having my pre-reqs complete. Not trolling, I'm legitimately new to this.
Absolutely. Read the thread for the types of programs available for this summer.
I was wondering that too...research does take up a lot of time, especially during the day. And then when you go back at night, you are often too tired to do any hard-core studying...
But to adcoms, won't it seem like "wasting" the summer if you're just studying for the MCAT and volunteering? Yet other cool programs like study abroad or whatever take up a lot of time, and ultimately, the MCAT is what is most important....
Anyone else having trouble deciding?
Update! I scribed and studied, and got a 33. I don't regret it!
I'm in the process of applying to DAAD RISE. I really love the idea of going to Germany. Did you end up going? What type of research program did you do? And what location where you at? Thanks!
