Should I take Lumiere research program?
Answered

It is a research program that is 2600 dollars and I鈥檝e even attended their info program. I鈥檓 having a hard time finding research opportunities in my area, at my age, so I鈥檓 probably going to pay for it with money I earned from my summer internship.

Is there a better way to spend my money? For those who did Lumiere how was it? ( i really cannot trust reddit)

Do you guys have any resources for 鈥渋ndependent鈥� research without a professor? The college admission game is so daunting鈥�

So I was part of Lumiere research program, I feel it was quite cool and great researching about a theme and topic I was passionate about, so if you think you really want to get into research and write a paper about something you are interested in, then it is a good opportunity, however, you can always do like independent research by reaching out to professor and sending cold emails.

Hey hi! can you please give me your contact information so that I can ask some questions? if it's not difficult for you, of course.

It really depends on the mentor. My first mentor was bad but the second really helped me out. I don鈥檛 recommend doing research without a mentor, but ideally you should do research programs that will guide you through. Of course, internships are the best given you have the experience.
