It says somewhere on their website that they will try to release decisions by tomorrow.
Not yet ... Anyone heard back from UChicago?
Did you hear back from UChicago?Jmr324 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 6:39 pmEnded up applying to:
DIMACS (graph theory/algorithm projects)
UChicago REU (Mentioned interest in working with Laszlo Babai)
Yale SUMRY (Hypergraph container project)
Carnegie Mellon
GaTech (Probabilitistic combinatorics with Warnke)
Ohio State
Twin Cities
Maryland CS Reu
CUNY Baruch (graph theory and additive combinatorics)
Brown
For most of the programs above, I applied to projects relating to graph theory, combinatorics, theoretical computer science.
Year: Junior
Institution: Large public, not well-known for math.
GPA: 3.75
Letters: I submitted two letters for all of the programs I applied to. One of them is from my professor for undergrad analysis 1&2, where I got an A in both (he likes me so I think it will be a pretty good letter). My other letter is from my honors thesis advisor I have taken 4 classes with her (2 graduate-level), 1 independent study, and some research (we are finishing up a paper related to Ramsey theory).
Profile: By the time the REU takes place I will have completed: analysis 1&2, algebra 1&2, graph theory, combinatorics, graduate graph theory 1&2, graduate algorithm design & analysis (plus lower-level math courses). All A's in upper-level math courses, but some B's in lower-level math classes bc I was a lazy idiot. I am first-generation, which may help idk. I am hoping my strong-background in discrete math will help me get into REUs with projects in discrete math.
I was also shortlisted for JMU! If you sent in responses to the additional questions, did you get any sort of reply or confirmation that your response was received? I sent mine in two nights ago and I'm nervous it'll get lost somehow.dmacdon1 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 1:36 pmHeard from a JMU REU mentor the other day saying that I was shortlisted, however havent heard from anywhere else.

(Not the person you replied to) I have not heard from UChicago yet--they're still in class so I wouldn't expect any messages to come out for at least 3-4 more hours.Lucinda_a wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 2:02 pmDid you hear back from UChicago?Jmr324 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 6:39 pmEnded up applying to:

I haven't heard anything either. Hopefully that means they're behind schedule and not that we have been forgotten.INeedToBurn wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 6:43 pmIt's almost 5pm Chicago time and I've heard nothing from Chicago. What's going on?
I applied to the Diophantine Equations project and I've had radio silence as well. Maybe this particular project is running behind schedule?
I haven’t heard anything yet, and nobody else I know who applied has. FWIW, here’s something a UChicago student said about when we might expect letters to go out, from two years ago: “Peter May is almost always slightly late. I would give him a week to mail out the results. I am also almost certain that he sends the acceptance emails one-by-one. So don’t be discouraged if a friend got in and you haven’t heard back, just give this 80 year old man some time.”
I haven't heard anything. Not sure if that means I'm out or they're late.Yagami1728 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:24 amHas anyone heard back from ICERM yet? The website says that they will start making offers in late February.

Just to add to your list, I have also heard nothing from PRiME (Pomona), UMichigan-Dearborn, and MSRI-UP REUs. Also, would you mind linking the Reddit thread where you found that info?

I've added the reddit link to my original post. It's a mega-thread for all subjects, but there are a few math posts hidden in there somewhereSoggyGarlicPowder wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 1:09 pmJust to add to your list, I have also heard nothing from PRiME (Pomona), UMichigan-Dearborn, and MSRI-UP REUs.

Thank you. I said I was interested in all four projects on my statement of interest. I did not see a place on the application to formally indicate a specific project, and the offer did not reference a specific project.cauchycoffee wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 1:07 pmWhich project, and congrats!sharkovsky wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 12:59 pmI was accepted yesterday.Yagami1728 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:24 amHas anyone heard back from ICERM yet?

Was officially rejected earlier today.
I'm not the person you asked, but I was also rejected yesterday afternoon and they just sent an email from Peter May through the mathprograms website.
They just emailed me. It looked like just a generic email sent to all people who we're rejected.
Oops I'm so sorry I clicked the wrong option, I thought it said "repost". Just want you to know you can always apply for Polymath REU
Congrats!! I applied to work with Warnke. I haven’t heard back and am not expecting good news lol.blackboardrules wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 9:40 pmAlso, I just heard back from Georgia Tech that I was accepted for the project with professor Margalit. Excited!
