    2016 Reu Summer
AI Thread Summary
Participants in the 2016 Math REU discussion are seeking updates on acceptance notifications from various programs, with some already reporting acceptances, such as UCSB and SMALL. Emory's participant list suggests they have completed their selections, while other programs like WADE and West Georgia are still in the decision-making process. There is ongoing debate about the significance of shortlists for programs like SMALL, with some participants unsure if they are required for acceptance. Several users are weighing the prestige of programs against funding opportunities, especially concerning Cornell's recent decision to cut funding. Overall, the competitive nature of REUs is highlighted, with many applicants anxiously awaiting responses from their chosen programs.

Anyone else apply for the UCLA summer school in logic? I know it's not an REU, but it seems relevant and I'm curious.
I applied to it and I'm also curious if anyone has heard anything yet.

Well what are your other options? I'm pretty sure Sam Houston is a good program, though not elite. In particular, I haven't been able to find any evidence of previous publications from Sam Houston's REU. So if you have the opportunity to join another program (Potsdam, Minnesota, Brown, OSU, etc...) where publications seem to be the norm or work with a professor at your home university, you may have a better chance of getting publishable results. On the other hand, if you're enthusiastic about one of the projects at Sam Houston, it could still be very productive and fun.
