should we start a thread posting when we've started hearing from REUs? so people know roughly when to expect decisions
l'Hôpital said:Surprisingly, no one is discussing this.
I'm applying to SMALL and Nebraska-Lincoln.
I made the short-list for the former, hoping to actually get in!
doubleaxel195 said:I too made the short list for SMALL :D
I hope I actually get in too :/
Since this probably varies from school to school, does anyone know how many applicants some REU's get?
l'Hôpital said:@76: Thanks! Sorry to hear that. : (. Maybe next year?
@Double: They said I have to make a decision by Thursday morning. I'll probably send an e-mail tonight or tomorrow. So yes, hopefully we'll see each other this summer!
i am only applying to a small number this year. Other than small, the other one that I'm passionate about is cornell. I have a perfect math GPA and a publication. I also go to a liberal arts college. I got good letters this time. I really don't know what else i could do to improve my chances. Whenever i apply to research programs i just feel i will never get into grad schools...764527 said:@R.P.F.: Man, I understand what you're talking about; my credentials are about as strong as they could be, given the limited resources at my school. I hope you'll hear some good news soon though. Which other programs are you applying to?
ghjk said:Anyone received an offer from Small's Geometry group??
ghjk said:Nope, I haven't heard anything from Small yet. Did u hear from this group?
ghjk said:I'm pretty sure the latter is the case for Geometry group.
mathchick said:I received an offer from University of North Carolina Greensboro's REU (Algorithmic Combinatorics on Words) but have a very short time to accept/decline. Anybody have any advice?
I would ideally like to see what other programs I get into, but this time frame doesn't allow for that =(
R.P.F. said:Ok. Stay calm then. Don't stab anyone(I'm actually saying this to myself...). They are probably going to have all the positions filled by the end of Feb.
ghjk said:I just got the confirmed news: the Geometry group was done, so if you haven't heard anything, then you should forget about SMALL. I didn't get an offer (2nd time), and I really wonder how to get into this group, considering that I have two publications when applying this year, one of them was on "Involve" (co-author with another prof.), the journal in which the professor being in charge of this group is the editor:P
Anyway, anybody hears back from the Combinatorics REU program at UMN?
R.P.F. said:I actually don't know why a math journal would be called "Involve", as I don't understand why a mathematical object would called an 'ideal'.
t3ss said:Just got accepted by UMN Minneapolis REU! Have to get back to them by next Wed, I think. I'm still waiting on SMALL Combinatorics group though. Did anyone apply to that group?
