This was an amazing experience and an amazing program to work for. They were incredibly organized, caring, and the perfect amount of rigorous to challenge you into having a productive and educational summer. I was paired with an amazing faculty research mentor and graduate student research mentor, and given a project to develop, work on, and present, all while learning new theory, lab skills, research methods, and writing and presentation skills.

Advice
This program is not for the faint of heart, and should be taken up only if you have a serious drive to attend graduate school, because it essentially felt like a summer of graduate school.
