Hey all,

I’ve been getting a lot of mass emails about joining internships at places like JPMorgan or Cisco and places like that. It’s also been mentioned several times at some club meetings that I go to. How often does a freshman join this kind of internship, or is it too early? I’m a biomedical engineering major so I’m not even sure if these internships could be useful to me, but is it good to put on a resume that I’ve been doing this kind of thing for a while?

Also, how can I get involved in undergrad research for this summer? I’m still in intro level classes so I’m not sure my intro to chem professor can really help me out with this, but I’m really looking for this kind of experience.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
