<p>I suggest before you get too excited about that prospect, inquire as to how many undergrads are actually working in that guy’s lab right now. Then compare that % to the number of undergraduate majors in that feld, to get an idea of your shot.</p>
<p>In my case. I didn’t know any undergrads that worked in those labs, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any. But these were obviously hot research areas that were highly coveted by the grad students that actually had dibs on these people’s time and focus.</p>
<p>The probable relationship between undergrads and these Nobel Laureates is a factor that may vary significantly between schools.</p>
