Tips from Fellow Students
- Nag professors. Go to their office hours until they think you are actually eager to do more work than the class requires. Worked for me! - Rach Liu
- Apply to URO and URAP. Even Freshmen can get in! And even if you don't get into a formal program, you might get recommended to others. At least that worked for me.-Aaron Staley
- Make your own research! Come up with some cool idea, sell it to a prefessor, write a paper, and get published. It's a simple 4 step process and best of all you are doing your own, rather than someone else's work!-Anonymous
