<p>I don’t think the JAX lab will be sending/responding to any emails on weekends, so be patient during the upcoming weekday. </p>
<p>Kettering’s AIM program, UT Dallas, Magee- Womens Research Institute, and UT Austin’s College of Natural Sciences still has applications open, although I think Magee’s is coming up pretty soon. Thus far I’ve been rejected to LEDA Scholars, MDIBL, and IU Simon. I applied to many, so I’m sure to have a couple more rejections coming my way. I know a professor at the University of Texas at Arlington who is willing to take a couple high school (and probably older) researchers, but I’m sure the location would be a problem if you’re not in the area. Email your local professors in an area you’re interested in (biochemistry, chemistry, biology, ect.), and bonus points if there’s a professor currently involved in research.
Please message me if you’d like any help finding open programs. I missed a lot of deadlines back in January and I’d hate for you guys to, also.</p>
<p>And @alwaysleah, my AP Chem and AP Bio teachers wrote me recommendation letters, and they didn’t mind me coming back to ask for another sealed copy twelve times. And if an app requires them to fill out a recommendation form, I’m 50% sure teachers prefer that to writing a letter from scratch, so please don’t be afraid to ask them! You’re probably not bothering them, and they want to see their students pursuing programs outside of school in their fields.</p>
