Re: 2022 REU Programs
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2022 12:47 am
Anyone hear back from Baruch, ICERM, UMich, Harold Blackwell, SMALL CGDS, MIT SGI?
for current and prospective graduate students in mathematics
https://mathematicsgre.com/
I'm not so sure, yet I assume they were just sending out the first batch of the offers for every project. If anyone happens to know more details, feel free to correct me.
Which project did you apply at Fields?physicsofcomica wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 2:56 amYear: Third year
Institution: Well-known(ish) LAC
GPA: Top 10% of my class (for anonymity and since we have severe grade deflation)
Major: Mathematics
Type of Student: domestic white male
Research: One summer in experimental particle physics, paid, but no real production. One program similar to PolyMath, that was essentially an unpaid REU, a final report, unpublished. One NSF REU (with people on this thread considering it a top choice) with a publication, and submission to a top journal
Coursework: (all undergrad level) Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, Discrete Structures, Algebraic Combinatorics, Abstract Algebra, Complex Analysis, Topology, Real Analysis, Galois Theory, Discrete Geometry, Algebraic Topology, Independent Study on combinatorics, Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra and Homological Algebra, and Real Functions and Measures (the last 3 were done “abroad” virtually)
Other: Worked as a tutor for all the classes I’ve taken, course assistant/grader for a sizable subset of those classes. I’ve also been a drop-in tutor, note taker, and lab TA for intro physics.
Applied:
Williams SMALL (knot theory): rejected
Yale SUMRY
University of Michigan
University of Minnesota Duluth: rejected
UChicago: rejected
Brown ICERM
Georgia Tech
Baruch (CUNY)
CSU SB
DIMACS
UMN Dynamics
Ithaca College
Fields Institute
Einstein Institute: accepted and attending
UCSB
UMN Combinatorics
I applied to the knot theory one, but I have yet to hear back.soyutcebir wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 4:20 amWhich project did you apply at Fields?physicsofcomica wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 2:56 amYear: Third year

I emailed them inquiring about my app three days ago, and they said they sent out some offers but are not done reviewing and will let me know in a few days.
I also didn’t receive anything about a rejection either. But also I was never notified about being on the short list so I am confused since I assume I probably should have been rejected already. Edit: I was rejected after sending an email to ask.
Could I ask how do you know that you are rejected by Cornell?onewaystreet wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 11:43 pmjunior at big school, international woman. average stats and average recs. reu last summer in applied math.
heard back:
SUMRY - officially rejected (2/17)
UChicago (first choice) - officially rejected (2/25)
UMich - accepted (2/28) - probably will decline
SMALL (CGDS) - officially rejected (3/2)
Fields - accepted (3/2) - project in NLP, probably will accept
Cornell SPUR (second choice) - rejected (3/7)
no decision:
RIPS - emailed, said will contact end of March
no word at all:
UCLA Amath
Carnegie Mellon SUAMI
Wanted to send some good energy to everyone seeing this post. You have all accomplished so, so much just by applying to these amazing programs, and having faith in yourselves. Math is hard and we all know it. You stuck it out and made it here. I fully admire your mathematical zeal, and am extremely proud of you. Here's to more goodness to come!
I emailed the program that I applied to.Kaleiss wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 1:55 pmCould I ask how do you know that you are rejected by Cornell?onewaystreet wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 11:43 pmjunior at big school, international woman. average stats and average recs. reu last summer in applied math.

I emailed them asking about the number theory project and they said they have only released a small number of acceptances and plan on releasing more at the end of this week and early next week. Hope this helps and good luck!
Thank you for the information!! Fingers crossed!
Do you know when is the deadline to accept offers for Einstein Institute?Ynmiau wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 3:43 pmBackground: 2nd year. European top institution. Finishing bachelor in 2 years (3-year program) with grade ~95% (don’t know how to convert, department average ~75%).
Course: bachelor core course (analysis, linalg, complex analysis, basic pde, measure etc), advanced courses: Algebraic topology, Commutative algebra, differential geometry, probability theory. Taking some other relevant lectures, didn’t appear on transcript but wrote in letter.
Others: No reu experience. Two recommendation letters, probably both strong.

They didn’t mention explicitly. Also I don’t quite understand how it works, literally no one does REU in Europe.

Has anyone heard anything from the rest of these programs? I want to know whether I have been unofficially rejected or waitlisted by any of these programs. I’m considering applying to additional programs with deadlines later this month (University of Alabama, Fairmont State, etc.)FixedPoint54 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 4:39 pmHere are the programs/projects I've applied for.

I already did, I'll post when I get a response back!
Ok, so I got a response back. I had asked my likelihood of getting in since I have a short response deadline for another REU, and they said they would have a decision for me by Wednesday. I'm not sure if they're releasing official decisions then, or just following back up with me. Also, I think there's a bug with mathprograms.org because I was looking over my app and I noticed the buttons to rank 1-4 your knowledge in programming languages was unclicked, so I filled that out again and updated my app and the confirmation page looked fine. Went back to the status page to look at the application, and the buttons were unclicked again. Oh well.
I just got accepted into the Texas A&M program. For anyone else applying to the Algebraic Geometry project, there are two spots remaining in total. I'm excited about the program and wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with it.FixedPoint54 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 4:39 pmHere are the programs/projects I've applied for.

Last year I was accepted March 11th but turned it down. They wanted a reply by March 18th.43hausdorff wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 7:15 pmAnyone hear back from Ithaca College Dynamical Systems? Or does anyone who applied in previous years remember when they heard back?
For MIT SGI, the results were just out. Probably they have a waitlist.soyutcebir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 8:55 amMIT SGI said they would send out decision by "mid-March". Has anyone received anything? The ones who applied last year, did they send rejections too?
Also, any word from IST Austria?
