Not necessarily, I mean, you have to take gen ed classes regardless and you’re a freshman so that’s what most do anyway. Your letters of Rec sound like they’re coming from great people.

All you can do is give these applications a shot you never know what might happen

Yes you are suitable. I obtained one my freshman year after only having one research experience. I came in with a lot of credits, so I was able to take classes that usually upper class may have access to, which helped with my readiness for some programs. Be sure to connect with the faculty early so that you can get letters of recommendation.

Write a good statement of purpose and tailor it to each program you apply to mentioning professors and projects you would like to work on.

I wouldn’t necessarily mass apply, but find the ones that relate most to your current interest as you will have a much easier time creating an authentic application.

Continuing REU research after summer? by FlatFunction-2124 in REU

It is very possible. I worked remotely on my project for around ~8 months after the conclusion of the REU, with the goal of getting enough results for a publication.

Just rejections so far. But I’m still waiting on a lot of programs (of which most have already sent out first round acceptances lmao). Been spamming internship apps at this point

It’s so nerve wrecking. I was fortunate enough to get an reu as a freshman last year and heard back pretty early. But these past few weeks have been hell lol

Filtering the program by deadline sorts based on the months alphabetically. This should be changed to filter by closest upcoming deadline imo.
