Hello everyone. I am a rising senior and I am worried that I will not be busy enough this summer to apply to top colleges like Princeton and Columbia. I want to study Physics in college but have not yet taken an AP Physics class in High School. However I have read books on the subject and believe that I know enough to try to find a minor research position. Can anyone help me find something productive to do this summer that would be looked on favorably by the colleges that I want to apply to? I live in Tampa, Florida, so I have several universities near me. Is it plausible to look for a position as a research aide at a university? Thanks to anyone that responds :)
