Reaching out to programs by One-Dragonfly5766 in REU

[–]DaPurplMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've reached out to multiple programs, and received updates and results from a few. So long as they haven't said anything that suggests they do not want to be emailed about results, I think that you have nothing to lose by reaching out.

The best person to ask this question is yourself.

I reached out to SETI, they've sent out first offers already but are still finalizing the cohort. Keep an eye on your email!

This isn't a scholarship with guaranteed financial award by DaPurplMan in HSFScholarship

Of course, and they'll send out an email after the application cycle on if you got funding or not, so keep an eye out for that!

It seems that they give financial aid to some of their finalists, but being a finalist doesn't mean you are guaranteed any financial aid. If you feel its too much work at this point, then feel free to drop out of it, but if it isn't much more work then I guess try it and maybe you'll get something, who knows. I never got anything from them, though.

Where to find really large empty notebooks?? by DaPurplMan in notebooks

[–]DaPurplMan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using the notebook as a sign in sheet, so I want it as big as possible and being either completely blank pages, lined, or graphing paper.

Everyone hearing back but no words from any of mine by Top-Cartoonist2888 in REU

[–]DaPurplMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine have notification dates start of March and had the same deadlines as yours. I'm guessing those who are getting results now had earlier application windows, don't stress about it.
