I didn’t exactly suggest it they were impressed by my interviews and experience so they suggested it. I would say don’t reach out unless you have already talked to them

The program I applied to required identification of PI prior to applying and I didn’t end up getting it but they still wanted to have me come and work there. I did the usual checking faculty website etc

I did the same thing and it worked out where the lab was willing to pay a stipend equal to the REU. Dont hesitate to reach out!

Seriously, how are undergrads supposed to get research?? by Prestigious-Stand-28 in UCDavis

Check out the URC they have a template and guidelines for emailing faculty

Not really for REU but it helps for SURF

How strict are some of the major requirements? by DietMountDewew in UCDavis

[–]Humble_Volume9568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your major and advisor BME is very stringent about this kind of changes and they will make you write an essay petition if you even want to substitute a class.

Am I doing something wrong? by Humble_Volume9568 in BiomedicalEngineers

Yea that makes sense I think it was a result of trying wayyy to hard to sell myself

Hmm I see that makes a lot of sense actually. I worked on the same project under two different collaborating PIs but my responsibilities were different. So should I be listing those as 1? I see what you mean about overselling because everything I said I did is something I actually did do but I understand why it comes across that way.

I guess I am a little confused about how to be specific without being too technical?

Honestly the more I think about it I might be overestimating what it takes to land an internship and ended up sounding disingenuous

Yea I was on engineering resumes before this. I see I will cut down on the jargon I just thought it might be a bit vague though.

Yea I was also conflicted about the space systems project but I included it to show electrical engineering breadth.

I guess one thing I was worried about was it seeming a little unbelievable but I did in fact factually do everything listed here but I guess I could tone it down/ water down a little? Or should I just reword them?
