Can McCormick students compete with Murphy Scholars?

<p>What the title says. And I guess any other special recognition NU may give.</p>

<p>Murphy Scholars are McCormick students - what do you mean by your post?</p>

<p>I guess you can compete with Murphy Scholars but they get special opportunities. They get really close with their advisors/mentors/teachers (equals great recommendation) and they get great internship opportunity. The opportunity for research for them is great.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’ll clarify. Can I (a non-Murphy student) have the same opportunities as a Murphy Scholar? I know it’ll be harder for me, but do I still have a chance at the same internships and research? Or am I completely blocked out from them?</p>

<p>you can be anything you want to be all you need is determination</p>

<p>The only significant advantage they have is the research opportunities but as the above poster said if you want to do it, you can :)</p>

<p>No your not, but it’s just going to be harder to find research and internship.</p>
