To apply for a summer research position, you have to submit an application and essay in SHARP, and list your top professor choices. The professors then pick their top candidates. For example, if a student has worked with a professor before and listed them as their top choice, they'll likely be placed with that professor. This process continues. Students who applied online but didn't talk to any professors in person won't get research positions.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • I wrote a one-page essay about my motivation for research and my suitability as a researcher.
