Questions students ask
Does it cost anything to apply?
Not a thing. Research Reach is completely free for students
Who will see my profile?
Only our team and the lab we introduce you to. Your profile is never posted for anyone to browse
Do I need research experience to apply?
No, research experience is not necessary at all. If you have some, that is a plus, but we look at many things beyond it, like your interests, your schedule and how long you hope to stay in a lab
Does applying get me a spot in a lab?
We introduce you to a lab that fits what you are looking for. From there the lab makes the final call, and we will be rooting for you
I’m a freshman. Is it too early to apply?
Not at all. Faculty told us they love training students early, so your first year is a great time to start
