[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter almost did one of those programs, but she ended up getting a real internship doing research at UMD. So I think that is going to be a more impressive story than the pay to play situation. Plus, her internship is 5 weeks...a bigger commitment. She will be working with a graduate student.[/quote] That's great for your daughter (I mean that sincerely), but last summer my daughter emailed over 70 professors and, if they responded at all, they all told her that under their department's policy, they cannot have anyone under 18 volunteer or intern in their lab. This was not at UMD, so it may differ by university. So, we are shelling out the money so she can get a taste of research this summer, which she could not do last summer.[/quote]
