<p>Don’t feel bad about not being accepted. NIH, according to a friend of mine who went there last summer, is really rigged. Basically, if you have connections, you’re in. If you don’t… well, it’s a whole lot harder. Plus, my friend kind of thought it wasn’t a constructive use of time as there were just a lot of paperwork and not enough actual lab work. Go find an internship in a local college. That’ll probably be a better use of your time. ;)</p>
