Schools Will I Get Accepted into the Physics REU at University Park?

AI Thread Summary
The user applied to the physics REU at University Park, submitting three letters of recommendation and a transcript, with a cumulative GPA of 3.83. As a freshman, they have completed several advanced math and physics courses. The application deadline was March 1st, but they have not yet received any updates regarding their application status. Forum participants suggest directly contacting the REU administrator for the most accurate information. Seeking clarification from the program's administrator is the best course of action for timely updates.

I applied to the physics REU at University Park where i attend school. I sent in 3 letters of recommendation and sent my transcript. My Cum GPA is 3.83.

I am a freshman, but have completed Calc I,II,II, Linear Algebra, Dif. Equations and 2 physics (Mechanics, and Electricity and Magnetism).

The deadline was March 1st, but i still have no word.

Do i have a chance of being picked, and how much longer will I have to wait before i know?

Thanks

You should just go ask whoever the REU administrator is since you are right at the school anyways... how can we give you any better advice than the administrator of the programs?
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
