Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Can anyone speak to the availability of undergraduate research opportunities at OSU? D21 did not get into honors, which we knew is considered the “first pick” students to get those opportunities and the program mentors actively help facilitate. She was asked to apply to scholars so she did and was accepted right away but the one program that talks about exposure to undergraduate research was already full. So it feels like with the two major avenues to help her secure a lab spot on a research team not an option, its risky for her to accept admission at such a large school with how important research opportunities are to her major and deciding on a future path with it. Does anyone know students doing research who are not in honors (or the biological sciences scholars program) that can share details of how came to those opportunities, what year you were, and how easy/hard it is to follow that path to the same outcome? Thanks for any help!
