[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t she have favorite neuroscience labs or researchers at one of the institutions? I would have thought she would have reached out to 3 or 4 labs any each school already to discuss her interests and see which university is a better fit. [/quote]

Not PP, but my dad is a professor at one of these schools, and I can confirm that he gets students contacting him like this all the time.[/quote]

Let me tell you why this is stupid.

1) high school kids have not had an opportunity to study neuroscience to any reasonable level

2) just because a student is interested in neuroscience doesn’t mean they have an interest in research

3) contacting professors about working with them or with specific questions at colleges that are extremely difficult admits is so presumptuous from a high school student it is laughable for most kids

4) few high school kids understand academics or academic research enough unless they already have family or contacts in academics making this peak absurdity[/quote]
