I had some questions for those of you that have experience integrating into a lab with a professor.

I wanted to start working in a lab this year as a main extracurricular and so that I can get deeply involved by my third year or so. I looked areound and one lab really interested me on otolaryngology and neuro. The professor teaches honors Human Phys, which I plan to take soph year, and usually the undergrads that work with him are from his class that did well. But I took my chances and emailed him on my interests offering to be a lab assistant.

He replied and invited me over. Is this a sign that I’m in, and also, are there specific things to mention during this meeting to show that I want to grow with his lab?

Thanks a ton
