No Scientific Research Project in High School?

@ rainynightstarz–er, yes, I realize that, I know several people that went to RSI and went to a similar program that was partially funded…I don’t think people would be willing to pay for you to go do research if they weren’t certain it was worthwhile.

My point was just that in these very good programs, if you are good enough to get in, money should not be a factor in whether or not you get to go. I’m not saying they’re easy to get into, I went to HSHSP and I know there were many qualified people applying, I’m just saying that money shouldn’t be the reason people don’t do them.

Of course, that’s just if it genuinely interests you, if your real passion is doing something awesome like building better scuba gear or something and you’d hate to see yourself locked up in a lab, then certainly do that! There’s more than one way to follow your passion!
