THE PROGRAM IS FULL. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST.
- Offers are made via e-mail only.
- Only the selected and accepted applicants will
be announced in the space below.
- Because of the large number of applications we receive,
we do not contact applicants who have not been accepted to the program.
- We use a rolling acceptance, and make offers to
a greater number of students than we have spots for because many
students have applied to multiple schools. Under no circumstance
should you accept an offer from an REU program unless you are committed
to that program. When you say 'yes' to a position in a professional
setting, you should mean it.
- In general, you have a week or two to make up your
mind. By all means, you should contact other programs to which you
have applied with this offer, if you have decided there are programs
whose offer you will take over ours.

your application, along with a file number to give your recommenders.
If you do not hear from us, you may assume that your application is
complete. We will contact individuals whose files are incomplete.
REU Projects: are available in all
subject areas. Please see the Chemistry department website for general areas of faculty interests. You may assume that every
member of the faculty is interested in hosting an REU student.
In addition to a research project, there will be other activities, including
field trips, meetings of all our summer students, weekly group meetings, and
a poster session.
