in order to be accepted into grad school? People tell me they are hard to get into. Would grad school committees consider the research you do in the summer at your own university?
No, you don't have to do an REU to get accepted into grad school. It is probably uncommon for a student to get accepted if they have done no research whatsoever, but it really doesn't matter where or when you do that research as long as it is documented. So, of course grad schools consider the research you do at your own university. Giving a good description of what you accomplished during your research experience is much more impressive than just citing the fact that you attended an REU one summer.in order to be accepted into grad school?
