<p>I had zero trouble to get undergrad research at NU and I wasn’t even among the top in my class. But I was a chemE. Maybe bio is different since so many premeds want to do research to beef up their premed resume so there’s more competition. She may also try the ones in biomed engg department; don’t worry about the “engineering” part; some of the research in that department can probably be classified as biomed instead of biomed engg.</p>
<p>Why only 10 hr/wk though? So she can still take summer courses at the same time? Some profs may want more commitment than that. But it looks like her main concern is to get the bio out of the way. That isn’t necessarily a bad choice considering how many people do struggle with bio and orgo at the same time.</p>
