| Consider REU - Research Experience for Undergraduates! Apply for a handful every summer! Check both computer science and mathematic REUs.
Applications are simple. Just do a Google search for REU "computer science", or visit the NSF site:
www.nsf.gov/home/crssprgm/reu/. As an underclassman, recommendations are the scariest part of the REU process, but often when you have the courage to ask a professor for a recommendation, he or she is more than happy to help you out.
Look for REUs to be sent to you via email and posted on the undergraduate bulletin board. REUs are highly competitive... APPLY early. |
