2018 REU and Summer Program Acceptance Thread

[Catherine R]

I am a freshman chemistry major and I applied to all chemistry REUs. I have a 3.4 GPA and no research experience, so I know not to expect much.

I applied to:
University of South Carolina Dornsife
Florida State University
Boston University
Duquesne University
Clemson University - rejected

I was successfully tricked for a moment there

I don’t get what you guys are referring to here. Joke?

Update for my daughter. She has only heard from Vanderbilt VINSE on 3/16 with a rejection. Nothing from any of her other apps. Perhaps some are on spring break? Hard to think about undergrad researchers while sipping an umbrella drink on a tropical island...

 

[AbeC]

The email included an attachment which contained the rejection. I'm used to attachments being for acceptances and direct texts for rejections

I accepted my offer to MSRP and am super excited. I'm probably going to be working on the newly initiated SPARC fusion reactor at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center.

Yes I got the Purdue email and I had a similar reaction. Insensitive to send a rejection in an attachment.

This is so stressful, I don't know how I'll make it through grad school applications.

Wow this is so great! I hope your summer works out incredible:)

Then you've already learned something useful.

Did anyone apply to the IBM Minority research program? I got into an REU in Colorado already but curious to know.

 

[TinyQuark]

Has anyone heard from GA Tech yet? I was rejected by their SURE program (minorities REU, basically) but I have not heard from their regular REU program. I tried emailing last week and have not gotten a response.
