Re: 2019 Math REU Thread

Anyone heard back from applied math at Brown or SUAMI yet? I think it might be a little late for Brown at this point...

Oof that's tough... it's awesome that you got into one though, congrats!!!waffleman227 wrote:I committed to one REU and got accepted into another one 20 minutes later.
Is your second offer better than the first? Luckily my first offer was my first choice... however I imagine I wouldn't be super happy right now if things worked out the other way around.hesdee wrote:Oof that's tough... it's awesome that you got into one though, congrats!!!waffleman227 wrote:I committed to one REU and got accepted into another one 20 minutes later.
Something similar happened to me this morning lol, today was the deadline for me to respond to the only offer I got, and I had an email all written out and I was about to send it when I got another offer! I'm glad I hesitated and waited until the last second for my first offer lol
My second offer definitely was better than the first! I was extremely shocked that I even got in, I had already gotten rid of the bookmark I had for their page and everything because I had just assumed they already had gotten all their participants! Now I'm sitting here really curious about what my advisor could have possibly said in my letter of rec to get me in there hahawaffleman227 wrote:Is your second offer better than the first?

Btw, I declined Cornell, if that helps anyone.bd wrote:Regarding Clemson, has anybody actually received any news, besides the announcement? They note that they are selecting them, but give no indication of how far in the process they are. I had to email them on Monday and have not heard back.knot wrote:
Clemson is sending out offers (via their announcement on mathprograms.org).
I also reached out to the others that I applied to, and was told Texas A&M, Emory, and Cornell are all full. I was told Oregon State is still selecting and would get back to me. I have not heard from ICERM.
I got in a few hours after posting this and will be declining because I got a better offer for the summerlivingmyth wrote:Has anyone heard back from BDSI at the Univeristy of Michigan? I applied before the second round of acceptances were supposed to start and haven’t heard back.
I feel like at this point Twin Cities is full, but don't quote me on that. As for Kent State I think they have emailed all of their shortlisted people for each group this summer. I am unsure about any of the other programs on your list.jecika95 wrote:Has anyone heard back from any of the following locations?:

A few people on the thread have recieved offers to U-Mich Dearborn. It was before the application deadline closed, so I’m not sure if there will be more offers sent out or not.jecika95 wrote:Has anyone heard back from any of the following locations?:

No idea. Would be really excited about any of them thoughjecika95 wrote:

I got an offer from Twin Cities last week, and have since accepted it. So I guess it might be full, but probably not quite.apa2021 wrote:I feel like at this point Twin Cities is full, but don't quote me on that.

Not completely positive on this, but I think I saw someone say they've been conducting interviews or something along those lines?abcdefghijk wrote:Does anyone know if Boise State has started making offers?
I have a friend who was interviewed and was accepted for the Game Theory project. I am unsure if they will take it, and I think is leaning toward no last time I spoke with this person. I am inclined to think that they have made similar moves for the crypto project (i.e. have interviewed and made offers).abcdefghijk wrote:Does anyone know if Boise State has started making offers?

I have a deadline of tomorrow to reply elsewhere, so I emailed the point of contact early last week, no response. I sent an email to the point of contact again yesterday, and just now to the specific project director I want to work with. I have obviously not received responses from the emails I sent yesterday and today.abcdefghijk wrote:Does anyone know if Clemson is still deciding?
Yes. Just email them. They respond almost immediately.ehaithc95 wrote:Has anyone heard from MSRI-UP yet? I just got an acceptance from Texas State (due tomorrow at 5 lmao) and they're the only one I haven't heard anything about.

From a friend "During the beginning there's a bunch of lectures and one can choose to attend a ton of them or a few of them. These lectures gradually thin out over the course of the program as the focus shifts to writing an REU paper on whatever subject seems most interesting (it doesn't have to be related to the lectures). Lots of interaction w/Chicago grad students and one can and should make an effort to interact w/profs as well."eigenartig wrote:Has anyone attended the Chicago REU and could tell me a bit about what that was like? I got a (second round) offer for it on Friday and I'm debating whether or not to accept.
I haven't heard back yet, but someone here has: https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/ ... iscussion/sunitabhatta wrote:Has anyone heard from UMich Ann Arbor yet?
When I emailed programs, I would go to mathprograms.org and look for a contact there. If not, the actual webpage should have a contact. If all else fails, I guess you could look on the NSF page to see who the grant was awarded to (if it is NSF funded)?AdoptedApricot wrote:Who are you guys emailing?

On a side note, has anybody heard for UConnecticut or Carnegie?
I was offered an interview last night at around 11pm for today at noon. I have a feeling they are trying to do the interview/offer process as quickly as possible (I declined the interview).cauchysequence wrote:When did he get the interview and when did your friend get an acceptance letter?

They didn’t say. In my application I mentioned I was I interested in the game theory project but the person who contacted me was from the cryptography project.abcdefghijk wrote:waffleman227 wrote:

For the game theory or cryptography project?
The application/interview isn't project specific. As you can see on their page, the project selection process is actually done in the interview (from what I can tell that's the only reason they do the interviews in the first place).abcdefghijk wrote:waffleman227 wrote:I was offered an interview last night at around 11pm for today at noon.
