Hey guys,

Anybody has experience in approaching a prof about volunteering in their lab? I have heard some prof are eager to take undergrad students as volunteers. There are a few profs in my list in which I have taken their classes before. The problem is ... I didnt do that well in their courses, getting 7- 9s...

7-9s aren't bad marks... geez.

Research opportunties are not base purely on marks. They're can be anything from problem sovling approach, communication ability, or just general likeability. Talk to your profs!

grades dosent matter unless you apply foe a thesis course i guess. when I applied for a volunteer position most of them didnt even ask for a transcript
