One of my friends at university applied to Indiana, and I don't think he has heard back.
Newtime said:I think a few people have gotten offers from Cornell (check on the first couple of pages).
Has anyone heard from Mount Holyoke or Indiana?
math.py said:How was your experience? What did you work on? This is one of the few programs who's project descriptions I was somewhat intimidated by. I applied to this year's Supersymmetry, Graphs, and Codes project.
klackity said:Hey, I created a facebook group for anyone accepted to the Penn State MASS program or to the Penn State REU.
Just search "MASS/REU 2011 at Penn State".
Let's keep in touch, brotha's and sista's!
kage2343 said:I emailed Harvey Mudd, as I need to decide soon on REUs. They said they would let me know by 5pm today, so I would guess they are sending the first offers out today.
math.py said:This is where we are so far. Let me know if I'm missing anything or have anything wrong.

R.P.F. said:I think Texas A&M has started to send out offers.
It really bothers me that I have not gotten a rejection from RIPS. I am aware that a lot of offers have been sent out though.
math.py said:What REU is this? Is this the systems REU?
kage2343 said:EDIT: Apparently it is known as an REU in systems, so you are correct. Garbage Collection is the program to which I received an offer.
math.py said:No! The robotics project was (sort of) my top choice. I didn't receive an offer! Out of curiosity, what school are you from?
kage2343 said:Loyola University Chicago. You?
math.py said:Cal Poly Pomona. I asked because I know some people at my school also applied to the Harvey Mudd REU. I thought maybe you were a student here. Anyways, congrats on your acceptance.

belle said:As a result of my REU last summer, I got published. Also, REUs typically provide some sort of supplemental experiences like special seminars or GRE prep, things you wouldn't get when working with a professor at your university. REUs are also great because you get to meet people from all over.
Of course if you can do research with a professor at you university, that is awesome too. Sometimes, you can even get funding from your school. The projects have the potential to be long term, although I would guess if it's during the school year your focus would be divided because of coursework. I haven't approached any of my professors asking for research but I think it would be a great experience.
