"I worked as a research assistant in BU's Eldred Lab of Neurobiology right here on campus. Getting the internship was as simple as approaching my introductory biology professor and expressing interest in his lab's work. It shows the faculty's commitment towards their students excelling in their academic endeavors, and that you will be taking courses with leading professors from day one."
