UPDATE: Kansas has filled all of their spots as well (They have a banner on their website). If I had a dollar for every REU rejection I got, I could buy a chipotle burrito and one of the fancy drinks there. @REUstressed, we can dine together! People who didn't get REUs only!

Has anyone heard back from the Kansas REU or the Washington REU? These are my last 2/12 I have left with the slightest bit of hope for each one. Any information would be much appreciated.

Sometimes REUs will begin sending out priority acceptances before their deadlines, but I don't think Washington will do this only because they have such a late deadline and they probably have that to get as many applicants as possible. I think it will neither hurt nor help your application in...

Well I haven't gone to an REU before, but from what I've heard it is usually an apartment style room with a kitchen so you can make your own food. Otherwise it really depends on the REU and the on campus housing they have.

UPDATE: LSU has filled all of it's spots but hasn't sent a rejection email KANSAS (SUMaR) has not even started to review applications, but will begin late next week. People who get it will be notified within about 2-3 weeks after that. I was told a notice will go up on the website when all spots...

@EternusVia, Similar to you, I only applied to 5 last year. I was told that it is best to apply to around 10 or more per year, so that's what I did this year. I'm guessing that you are either a freshman or sophomore, so you always have next year too! It is also not too late to apply to more...

UPDATE: CSUCI has filled all but 2-3 spots and already has made offers for those spots and believes that it is likely that those candidates will take them. If you have not heard then you are most likely not going to make it in. PURE has picked finalists (10) for the 6 spots in each male and...

UPDATE: Contacted Missouri, and they said they are currently waiting on confirmation of funding from the government. They are not reviewing applications until they have confirmation of funding.

It is absolutely acceptable to email programs and ask about your application's status, especially when you have heard of someone in this forum or at your school getting accepted. Take it from someone who applied last year; most programs do not even send out rejection emails, and if they do it...

UPDATE: Sam Houston has filled all of the positions for the upcoming summer. (I emailed 7 REUs so look for more updates throughout the day)

She was talking about the interview yesterday. couldn't have been too long ago that she got the email from them. I wouldn't be surprised if she was a second round pick after someone decided 3/8 that they didn't want the spot.

@Call Me Ishmael , A girl from my college just got contacted and emailed by Fairfield, so if you haven't heard anything it is definitely a bad sign. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. I'm going to email some of the REUs today and get back to everyone.

@LaneyRhi , if it makes you feel any better, I still haven't heard back from anything either. It isn't too unusual to not hear anything for a long time. REUs are notorious for poor communication if you are not one of their top choices. If you are really starting to doubt whether or not they...

I have not heard back from MAPS, or Berkley yet...but then again I have not heard back from anyone yet. Here's to hoping the second round of offers tomorrow will be kinder. Good luck in the second round everyone!

My friend went to the University of Hawaii Hilo REU last year. He seemed to really enjoy it. He never gave the impression that it was extremely rigorous, at least not so much that it got in the way of him enjoying the experience. Did those schools (LSU and Hawaii) respond to you guys yet? I...
