[quote=Anonymous]DS is a rising junior in a STEM major that has 8-10 majors a year. He declared 1st semester sophomore year.  He talked to the department head and was matched with an advisor whose research matches. His interests.  2nd semester, he did research for academic credit.  This summer, he was given a student apartment for 8 weeks and is being paid to. Research out of a federal grant.  She has already asked him to continue as a paid research assistant next fall, given him a list of likely internships for post junior year (and will write him a great reference) and has helped him choose a study abroad program spring of junior year.

He will be published before he graduates, and the goal is for seniors to present at a national conference in the spring.

More than half of the kids who graduate in his major get PhDs, often at top universities in the field. He will obviously have no trouble getting great grad school references from his department.

None of this happens if grad students get first dibs on research.
