r/REU

hey i wanna do one next year (bio or neuro related) but im really confused on where to start and how to make my app standout to increase my chances of getting into one

Hello!

I leave for my REU next week. I’m so excited; I was accepted into this one only and really lucked out. I’m doing exoplanet research (physics & math major).

What was everyone’s experiences like, especially in a physics or math-focused program? Was it more self paced or team led; did you have an office space or did you have the freedom to work wherever; etc.

Tips and advice and anything of the sort is also appreciated! I don’t have any expectations, honestly, other than I am enthusiastic for my work and location.m

Edit; I’ve talked a little with my mentor but I’m just curious on what everyone’s experiences were like :))

I got accepted into REU this summer and it starts next week! I'm kind of scared it's going to be run like the military where if I make a mistake, they'll stone me 😞 I'm scared I'm going to be expected to know everything about my major, plus more. Are they like super strict (idk if that's the right word) in general? Is it based on the mentor/work I'll be doing?

I'm really nervous for it because it's my first REU as well as my first time doing ANYTHING outside of my own university, and I'll be the furthest away from home I've ever been. I just want to maybe get a better sense of the environment before I actually get there! Thank you!

Hi, I am applying to clinical psych PhD programs this cycle. What do you think is a good number of labs to work in?

I have 2 years of clinical research experience in a lab, including recruitment, data management, and behavioral coding, and I have publications in the works and three conference presentations.

I also have 3 years of clinical experience working in ABA as an RBT. I am stressing about getting a full-time RA position now for the summer to have another lab under my belt. How critical do people think it is to get into another lab?

I emailed them for an update this morning and just got the rejection email. IDK if they sent them all out or just me bc i asked.

always a chance i guess

it's 11:00 is second rounds results out ? mine is showing the same window from 16th

Sabanci university ?

Hey guys, if anyone here also applied to the Hugh Edmundson Research Internship, I wanted to ask if they have heard back yet?? They said interviews would happen mid-May, and it's currently mid-May, but I haven't heard anything from them so do I just assume that I'm getting ghosted and it's a rejection?? Please lmk if someone has heard back or not, and there's still hope!! Thanks in advance.

As the title suggests, i’m mainly wondering how these research programs look on your application to medical school? I could see how completing research at super prestigious colleges such as harvard, yale, etc. could help but is it the same effect for something like UVA SRIP? Do these programs look any better than just doing research at your home institution?

I emailed on Monday and the staff told me they hope to send out emails this week. However I still haven’t got one and I’m a little nervous 😓

Would this be doable? My REU is in chemical engineering but the Calc III class would be fully online (with exception of exams obviously).

hi there! is there anyone who got in to business/management related projects?
