An international freshman concerning about research
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2020 11:15 pm
Hi, guys. I am an international freshman of UIUC. I am currently outside the US and taking online courses. Thank you for spending time on my questions and concerns.
My major concern is about research. Personaly, I really really want join undergraduate research in the summer of my freshman year, which is next summer. I know most freshman don't do research in the first summer. But I have good computation skill and physics knowledge, so I am confident that I will meet the requirement of doing research next summer.
The question is, I can't go to campus this semester, and I suspect that I will not be able to do so next semester too. So let's suppose I can go to campus next summer. Here is my questions:
1. How can I maximize my possibility of getting research opportunity in UIUC when I go to campus next summer. Of course I will try my best to improve my ability, but are there any method for me to enlarge the possibility of geting research opportunity in UIUC?
2. Beside UIUC, I also want to research in other top school, like MIT. So I want to do 2 years research in UIUC than go to a another top school to get further opportunity. How am I going to do that? Should I apply for the summer research opportunity on their website or I seek the opportunity in UIUC that can go to other top school.
Thanks again for your spending time on my questions. If you have any other suggestions for me, I am willing to listen. Hope you stay safe and healthy!
