How did you hear this? Did they email you or did you ask them about the status?rangerazlm said:Vanderbilt said my app is in final selection. Said they are waiting on NSF grant info before any offers can be made. what exactly does this mean?
Okay, thanks. It just means that they need to ensure that the NSF will give them the money for your REU before they can send out offers.rangerazlm said:I asked about the status
Email themidkidk1212 said:Should I be worried that I applied to four REUs and haven't heard back from any? Has anyone heard from UC Davis, University of Michigan, TREND (University of Maryland), or Georgia Tech?

In your own, more courteous, words, of course.

PeanutButterPuffin said:Hi. I just had a Skype interview for University of Michigan. My tips for any of you who have an interview:
Relax. I was overly nervous and that changed some of my responses. In retrospect, I wish I would have calmed down and put more energy into actually addressing questions!
Be prepared. You should be able to tell them about your goals, how your background fits in with that goal, and how that particular REU would help you achieve those goals. And be sure to organize your own questions to ask about their program.
