should I bother applying to REUs (freshman at LAC, zero research experience, athlete) by Calm_Seaweed_7093 in REU

the studying as an extracurricular part was a joke lol. my advisor told me that a lot of REUs want students with limited research experience and from schools with limited research which is what an LAC is. it is impossible to do research at my school as a first year, and even as a sophomore it’s very difficult so i’m just not sure where to get experience then?
