[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but the same idea applies. 
That’s just a suggestion of how you can find the talk he gave. Unless your kid is top of the tops, why compete against the pool at Cornell or Hopkins all vying for the same research opportunities. Why not attend a school with a solid program where they can shine and be more competitive for research opportunities.[/quote]

Also, don't go into major debt for a bio degree if you actually just want to do BIO research.  The pay is low (across most levels), but especially with only a BS/BA.  You will just be a grunt in someone else's lab.  You will need at least a MS but ideally a PHD to do "the real work" and get decent pay.  So the best path is a place where you can actually start doing research sophmore/junior year, which means a place where you are big fish in a small pond (not the reverse).   Shining during undergrad will make it easier to get into a great PHD program, you need top notch recommendations for that.
