I would suggest emailing a brief "resume" or request to all the biological and med profs at Princeton, asking them if you can intern or do research with them. don't make it too long; the profs will lose interest. explain some of your stats, and how much you love science. if that doesn't work, simply go door to door at Princeton, and in each lab, and if a prof lets you in, explain why you are there. it seems desperate but that's about as much as you can do, unless you have contacts at Princeton.

Smiley, how? My aunt works there and apparently they don't let high school students do research there.

In the summer before my friend's junior year, he worked in a lab with a professor doing research... I think he worked with animals (monkeys?). The next year, his sister helped with research on fish eyes... lol
