Where to find extracurriculars?

Applying to College
1

<p>I believe I do not have enough extracurriculars.
In my previous post, I asked whether colleges prefer community service credit or internships.
This summer, I just really want to find an internship.
Sadly, I can’t find any good programs that are offered to high school students.
I really want to study psychology, or perhaps even bioengineering and music. I just can’t find ANY in New York.
Please, where can I find an internship?</p>

<p>I heard that you can contact local professors and work as their interns on a project. Is this true, and how can I do this?</p>

<p>Yes you can. Find a local university and then find a professor whose lab does something you’re interested in. Try e-mailing him/her and explain your interest and offer to set up an interview or send your resume. If not, don’t give up and keep trying. You will find something.</p>
