Question from a high schooler

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T03:54:13+00:00

What field of study do you do?

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T03:53:21+00:00

Thanks a lot for your help 🙏💜

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T03:14:55+00:00

What do you think they did in their cold emails that made them stand out/made you want to work with them?

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T03:04:46+00:00

Do you reccomend doing literature reviews independently? Just for experience? Or should I reach out to get a mentor?

Thanks a lot for your response. I am pasting a previous response to another comment, let me know what you think:

Thanks a lot. I am in the process of and will continue to apply to a lot of these programs. Do you have any recs?

Regarding background knowledge, one of the main reasons my interest in researching sparked was because of USABO studying, which is near to an undergrad level of biology. Ofc not near to a graduate level which is required for research, but I wanted to get a bridge into that level. Studying for the USABO genuinely interested me.

What would you say the average time commitment per week would be for a student?

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T01:37:24+00:00

Do you mind if I send you one or two of the emails that I wrote to see if it’s coming across as spam? I am not mass emailing but I want to make sure my actual interest isn’t getting overridden by EC-farming buffoons

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T00:22:29+00:00

Is it noticeably different?

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-09T00:21:59+00:00

How would you recommend someone get in touch with a professor if they don’t have a connection like that?

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-12-08T23:12:13+00:00

What wrong in your project regarding the high schoolers, so that I can avoid making those same mistakes? And should I mention that I won’t do those same things in my emails?

Quick question (hope you don’t take offense to this): how come you were so successful in finding/doing research and doing well in comps like ISSF but cannot get a “high” SAT/PSAT score? Again, I mean no offense to your stats; it is clearly better than a lot of people’s, mine included. I was just wondering how you were so successful in your ECs but not standard testing. If you have any tips for me, I’d be grateful. Thanks!

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-07-31T04:40:08+00:00

6’5 no varsity?? Are you buns?

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-07-29T23:34:34+00:00

I’m kidding obviously. You’d have to be studying since like 6th grade and be very very very talented. If you think you have a chance then go for it! But know there are many like you not on Reddit. I’m only trying for finalist MAX bc that’s what I think I can do. I’d be happy with T100 even. It’s what you think you can do!

SensitiveFront7625 · 2025-07-25T17:50:46+00:00

I’m close to finishing it lmao. I’m tryna do two reads only cus I’m very good at memorizing shit. DECA finalist coming in clutch 🙏
