This is what I figured. Thanks!
Can you send me the link to your math dept. web page?blackfedora said:The only international student I know at my college gave up on REUs for exactly this reason and is hoping to get something here at our school since the college has a fund for student researchers that is independent of the NSF, but I don't know if that's an option for you.

Newtime said:Dear Physicists out there,
Please invent a time machine so I can fast forward a few weeks to find out which REU's accepted me. Thanks.

Newtime

blackfedora said:Apparently Small has contacted it's top choices, while I suppose there's always the possibility that you'll be called later when someone turns down the position, I think it's pretty safe to assume you didn't make the cut if you haven't been contacted. (you could always email them and ask though)
sutupidmath said:I have information that SMALL has not yet contacted all of its top choices! :) In other words, they haven't yet decided who their top candidates are, at least not for all positions. So, i guess there is still hope for some of us!
blackfedora said:Sweet! Do you know which problems are still being looked at?
jeffasinger said:being "in the process of making final decisions" might mean they're waiting to hear back from people who they have given offers to.
blackfedora said:I wonder if any of them are on this forum... watching us right now O.O

zpconn said:I applied there. Bummer!

For UNC Greensboro I emailed my transcript instead of having it mailed. I noticed this today. The post office unfortunately is not open today, so I couldn't mail it with express or priority mail. I put the transcript in an envelope and put it in the outgoing mail box at my dorm. Hopefully it will get postmarked today. If so, I really hope this will be okay; the website does technically say that application materials have to be postmarked by the deadline.
Dang, this was even one of my top choices because of its blend of mathematics and computer science.
I guess this is what happens when I apply to 12 programs...
blackfedora said:I applied to 8, I might've applied for more but I also have a bunch of study abroad apps to worry about for next semester. I'm really ready to stop applying to things and actually get some **** done for once...
union68 said:Hey owlpride (if you're still snooping around this thread), do you recall how long it took for Cornell to notify you of your acceptance after the deadline had passed?
The more I investigate the Texas A&M REU, I think the only one I'd pass it up for would be Cornell.
Uh-oh, stupid mistake on my part!

messidona said:Hey, does anyone know if they have sent out the offers to the top UNC-Greensboro applicants yet? I got an email and a call from the lady saying i was one of her top choices but I don't know if that guarantees me an offer. Just anxious to know whether others have gotten them yet.
Newtime said:woot. just got an offer from UNC Greensboro and accepted right away. should be a great summer. those who also get offers/accept them: let me know - it looks like we'll be working together..
Snitse said:I got an offer from greensboro and canisius and am deciding now.
Newtime said:What do you think you'll end up doing?
BolzanoWeir said:Hey, does anyone know the offer status of other reu's.
i.e.
UNC - Asheville
Claremont
Michigan
Penn State
SUNY - Potsdam
Indiana
I am just wondering because I didn't realize how competitive this was and was wondering if I should apply to a few more easy ones just in case so that I at least get something for the summer?
p.s. which ones are the easier ones, it's hard to tell.
Snitse said:Well my top choice is Asheville which hasn't gotten back to me yet, so I'm still waiting it out.
