In summary: The letters of recommendation are very important. They should be from someone who knows you well and can write about your strengths and weaknesses in a way that is unbiased.

Has anyone heard anything from UC Santa Barbara and UNC Asheville?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

Still waiting to hear from UNC-Asheville and WPI...

UNC-A has now updated its REU webpage:

"At this time we have nearly completed our selection process. Students who will be taking part in the program this summer will be notified soon."

Thanks for letting me know about that. I wonder how "soon" they will notify those people. I also wonder if they will ever notify those who are not taking part in the program.

Which group did you get into? I had received an offer a few weeks ago and ended up choosing a different program as it more closely fit my personal research interests.

Everyone I had spoken to who did that program last summer all had very high recommendations, however they did make it clear that it was different adviser and topic. One of the main drawbacks to me, aside from the mathematics, to be completely honest, was the lack of a/c in the dormitories.

I got into the "Partition Regular Matrices from a Linear Algebraic Perspective" group.
Still waiting to hear back from a couple others (Pennstate, UNC Asheville, Clemson) but since it's gotten so late I'm pretty sure I'll get rejected from them.
Haha it is 8 weeks in Summer, so that is indeed a major drawback! :wink:

Is anyone going to NAU?

Got into Clemson (Computational Number Theory and combinatorics).
Anyone got any views on this REU? and perhaps how it would compare with Mount Holyoke?

Also, Pennstate haven't finished giving out offers apparently. The committee is still meeting to decide the fate of my application...
