I accepted cornell, and told a few programs to take me off there waiting list (or to take me out of consideration if they didnt release yet).
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Has anyone heard anything from Boise State, Kent State, MSRI, or University of West Georgia?
 
I haven't heard anything from Boise or Kent State yet.
 
Kent State's website hasn't been updated since last year. Several months ago, I emailed them about a 2016 REU and never got a response. How did you find out about an REU this year?
 
People on the shortlist for Diff Eq for SMALL have been notified.
 
I accepted UCSB.. haven't heard back from any of the other math REUs that I applied to
 
University of Washington Bothell, UT Tyler, and Sam Houston sent out offers.

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.
 
I just got an offer from Sam Houston State. Does anybody know if it's a good program?

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.
 
Anyone know anything about the Fields institute summer research? Not sure how good it is.
