I seem to recall reading somewhere that all applicants who are not selected are notified by April 1st or something like that. But I can't seem to find where it said that now, so I may be thinking of something else.

Which offer did you end up accepting?

I'll be heading to University of Colorado - Boulder. I'm super excited but, like I said, I would never turn down a nice ego boost :)
 
Nice! Congrats! UC Boulder is one of the schools I was considering applying to transfer to in the fall, but after looking at out of state tuition costs, I decided to stay within Illinois.
 
For those of you that applied to NREL, they should be sending out acceptances soon. I was offered a position, but since I had already accepted a position elsewhere, I had to decline.

Too funny. I'm also in Illinois and I was applying to everywhere just to get OUT of here. But then again, no out-of-state tuition for REUs! :)
 
Has anyone else heard back from their mentors yet? I heard from my mentor at Fermilab a couple weeks ago.

I'm going to be monitoring the stability of the neutrino beam for NuMI and MiniBooNE. That's pretty much all I know at this point. My mentor sent me a couple hundred pages of suggested reading as well. I've been working my way through this between my course work. I can't wait to finally get there!
