Schools What Are the Latest Updates on 2016 Math REU Acceptances?

[AMH]

Anyone heard from Willamette or Boise?

 

[tesselate]

I have not heard from MAPS.

Anyone have news from MSRP or MSRI?

I got accepted to MSRI, but as far as I know there are still spots left to be filled.

 

[TRetz]

Anyone hear from SHSU?

 

[WhatIsCohomology]

SHSU is releasing today, quote them:

"If you don’t hear from us by tomorrow (Saturday) morning, it’s safe to say you are not included in the initial set of candidates."​

 

[TRetz]

Yee - I mean if anyone heard from them this morning, i.e. received an acceptance

 

[WhatIsCohomology]

Oh, I understand, my bad.

 

[n-dimen]

So I was on the shortlist for Oregon State Univ., I'm just wondering has anyone heard back from them?

How do you know you were on the shortlist?

 

[n-dimen]

How do you know you were on the shortlist?

I emailed them last week asking if I should accept other offers or I may get into their program and they said I'm on the shortlist and I will hear back by the 8th.

Any one heard from SMALL?

Any one heard from SMALL?

I was rejected by Frank Morgan, but through a rather personal email (not the kind of official one). He also told me that he tries to favor juniors and the usual 'please apply again' cliche.

If we haven't been rejected by SMALL yet (but were on the short list), does that mean we're still in consideration?

Did he email you, or did you contact him first?

I've received offers from Oregon state, UMN and Potsdam. Has WADE sent out anything besides the survey? And which of the ones I got into is generally considered most prestigious? Serious indecision and that is of course a factor

 

[test123321]

Has WADE sent out anything besides the survey?

WADE has sent out offers

 

[cubsin5]

WADE has sent out offers

Adding to this, they gave until March 8th to decide, so if there is a second round my guess would be that it would go out sometime in the second half of this week.

 

[AMH]

They're all great REU's and you should probably pick one based on which has the most interesting research available. That being said, I'm under the impression that UMN is the (slightly) more prestigious of the bunch.

Judging from my results, I think UMN is the hardest out of the 3 to get in then Oregan/Potsdam. I say this b.c. I was shortlisted for the last two but not for UMN.

 

[Miao]

Did he email you, or did you contact him first?

I'm pretty sure I did not email him.

 

[n-dimen]

If you don't accept an offer please let them know!

So n-dimen, are you going to accept the Cornell REU? I am probably going to. I know the lack of funding is off-putting, but among all I got in, this is the most serious program on more mainstream math topics. Also, I'm pretty sure there is funding from my college.

 

[test123321]

Is the deadline on March 8th at midnight or that morning or...?

 

[cubsin5]

Is the deadline on March 8th at midnight or that morning or...?

If this reply is to me, they just said on or before March 8th.

 

[test123321]

I just meant in general for programs that stick to that deadline

Most likely this will be it, i asked how much it costs, they said to live it is usually 65-120 a week not counting food or travel.

 

[test123321]

Are there ever second round offers right after March 8th?

 

[n-dimen]

Are there ever second round offers right after March 8th?

I would guess so.

 

[AMH]

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.

 

[Gopack89]

Has anyone heard from MTBI?

 

[alex89O29]

So who accepted/turned down things today? Must have been busy for everybody.
