I’m a high school sophomore and really want an internship (or research work) under a UIUC professor.

How do I go about contacting professors for internships?

How do I show that I am qualified for the internship/research and that I am passionate too?

How do I even know if I’m qualified enough for this kind of stuff?

Is this based on extracurriculars, or would they care about grades and test scores?
