Benefits of doing undergraduate research: increased self confidence, gain in practical tools for your education and future career, connections with faculty, and ability to take research methods from the classroom and apply them to real-life situations. It sets you apart from other applicants whether you will be applying to graduate or professional school or intend to go directly into the job market.
