<p>Is there any way to do this? I want to do research at Harvard. How do I do this? Someone please help me I have always wanted to do this</p>

2

<p>Are you going to be at Harvard in the fall?</p>

3

<p>Email faculty/professors and indicate your interest in their research.</p>

4

<p>Where can I find the email addresses?
Actually I am a junior and will be visiting there this summer. College-wise, Harvard is indeed my dream school.</p>

5

<p>Good luck, considering it’s pretty competitive for even the actual undergrads there.</p>

<p>Someone please help me with where I can find the emails?</p>

7

<p>Check out the faculty department pages…</p>

<p>Go from <a href=“http://college.harvard.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://college.harvard.edu</a></p>

<p>are you hs student?</p>

<p>wow good luck. i would think it to be virtually impossible to do research as a hs student with a harvard prof, considering as HH05 mentioned that even undergrads have a hard time securing a spot. </p>

<p>my advice is to contact profs in your own vicinity. although…you are going to be away from home as you said, but the advantage with my suggestion is that you’ll have more of a chance of having a mentor for (original) research that counts for something! whether it be with a harvard prof or a prof from your local university, research will demonstrate your academic interests to harvard.</p>

<p>chances of getting a research postion at harvard are 0%. Im not going to sugarcoat it thats just the truth at any top school unless you a)know the professor personally ie hes your dad or dad’sfriend or b)know head of dept. personally. Research costs money and so does having a research kid. Your trying to get a postition at a school where current students are motivated enough to do research. exceptions are programs like RSI but there not really exceptions because there funded with govt money. Try local state college less competition (less grad students and students seeking reasearch opps.)</p>

<p>I would suggest a less ambitious goal for you. A good, caring, un-Harvard mentor at a local college or research center is much better than a brilliant but uncaring Harvard professor.</p>

<p>btw, what research are you interested in conducting?</p>

12

<p>Does the student ask for a research topic from the professor or the professor assign one to the student?</p>

<p>Generally the professor allows the student to help with auxiliary research for his current research project.</p>
