Getting published is a great addition to your resume or CV application. One way might be to co-author a paper with your research mentor about your research project, for a scholarly journal. Here are some other opportunities:
The PENN BIOETHICS JOURNAL
An annual undergraduate bioethics journal, published by the Bioethics Society of the University of Pennsylvania. PBJ has established itself as one of the preeminent undergraduate bioethics journals in the nation. PBJ provides an academic forum for undergraduate discussion of current, relevant issues in the field of bioethics. The peer-reviewed journal is circulated both in print and online.
The Outstanding Contribution to Undergraduate Bioethics award, administered in conjunction with the Center for Undergraduate Research (CURF) at Penn, has been established to recognize outstanding undergraduate writing in bioethics. All undergraduates with articles published in PBJ are considered equally for the prize. Two outstanding articles in the journal will be recognized with a first place prize and a second place prize. The recognitions will be awarded in conjunction with the publication of each issue.
Guidelines and past issues are available at http://www.bioethicsjournal.com. Deadlines are usually in very early January.
Berkeley Scientific
Berkeley Scientific is the undergraduate research journal of the University of California at Berkeley. Every semester, our undergraduate staff publishes independent research done by undergraduates at UC Berkeley, interviews with faculty members, reviews of recent scientific publications (books), and articles on current issues in science. All research papers are faculty-reviewed, and all interviews are conducted by the staff. The focus of the journal is broad, spanning scientific disciplines from ecology to engineering, from astronomy to biochemistry. Our intended audience includes, but is not limited to, UC Berkeley students, faculty, and the surrounding community. Although all of our published material is primarily related to the campus, many research papers include work done far off campus, and our faculty interviewees do work that involve collaborations and carry implications across the globe.

California Engineer http://caleng.berkeley.edu/
Journal of Undergraduate Research in Bioengineering (JURIBE) The Journal of Undergraduate Research in Bioengineering (JURIBE) showcases research results of undergraduate students in bioengineering and other related science and engineering fields. Completed research projects are not necessary for publication. Articles are intended to document research accomplishments to date. Published by the University of Washington.
