Math REUs 2012

Aureolux

Just letting you guys know that I got accepted to UCLA RIPS today (by phone), so they must have started looking through applications. Good luck to any other applicants!

I got rejected from SMALL and the statistical genetics REU at Dort College. I hope I get in somewhere this summer! :/

I'm writing to let you all know that William and Mary has begun sending out offers. I have a week to decide. :)

By the way, has anyone here attended the W&M math REU? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience and overall thoughts.

Zephkiel

Same here! I have the same question, too, haha.

Anyone heard back from UCLA Logic summer school?

Just got an acceptance letter for the NC State REU! Awesome! They want to know if I am going by March 9th, so hoping to hear from other schools. I can just e-mail them to know if I am in or not? NC State was not at the top of my list but I would definitely like going there.

Thought I'd let you guys know, I just got accepted into Hope College's REU.

What were some of your qualifications, if you don't mind me asking, Baroudeur?

Offers: W&M, ETSU, LSU, Lafayette
Rejections: Emory, Williams (SMALL), SUNY Potsdam

A week ago I was worried that I wouldn't get into any REUs, and now I'm dizzy from thinking about which one to attend!

Baroudeur

I might be something of an unconventional applicant. I've always liked math, but I was a disinterested and angsty civil engineer until a year ago... that's when I finally dropped engineering for math. Since then, my grades have been perfect, but for the first 1.5 years of my college experience, I got B's in math and other subjects. My recommendations were good, and I wrote good essays that address my past and look to the future.

First off, congratulations! Choices are good!

How did they contact you for acceptances/rejections? I've applied to ETSU and SUNY Potsdam and now am a bit worried I haven't heard anything yet...

In fact, I haven't heard back from anywhere! Should I start making alternative summer plans?

764527

Thank you! I was contacted through e-mail at all places I listed. If you haven't heard back, then there's still hope since you haven't been rejected.

I don't think there's any reason to make alternative plans so soon; from what I've heard, some programs won't have completed their selection process until around the end of April!

Baroudeur

Interesting. Sounds like I've been wait-listed at a number of places, then, seeing as I've heard nothing from programs to which others have already been invited (UCLA Logic and SUNY Potsdam in particular).
