Mentorship Involvement
We like to see applicants that are either interested in mentoring students or would benefit from mentiorship. Students that are interested in becoming mentors should have at least 3 quarters of lab experience, and typically help mentees improve their resumes, learn research terminology, work on their minor applications and provide general advice for life at UCLA. Mentees should be actively applying to labs and/or the minor and have a clear goal on how mentorship from BMRS can help them achieve their goals.Â

Research experience is a plus, but not an expectation. We are looking for Applicants that can articulate why they want to be involved in research and have strong research interests and goals.
