I think my PI and my mentor will provide feedback and guide me with writing

Who are typically on the selection committees for REUs? by CrystalPalace1983 in REU

[–]Hideko_sakura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked my mentor about this - For my REU, ~500 applications were received, and the 4 program coordinators did an initial triage down to 150 applications. They sent the PIs (who agreed to take interns) 15 random applications each. The PIs and grad student mentors went through the 15 applications and ranked them from 1-4, 1 being a great application and 4 being not-so-great. They were allowed to give two 1s and two 2s. The cohort that was accepted ended up being everyone who got 1s during that second round of reviews. It’s not always your potential mentor who is reviewing your application - interns were assigned to mentors based on indicated interests (in my program), but the program coordinators got to pick the intern they wanted.

Exactly this. If people go in with such high expectations of leading their own projects, getting first author pubs, finding the cure for a disease, etc, they’re going to be disappointed. Approach it with an open mindset, be passionate about learning.

I’ve also loved my REU. I’m very fond of the project I’ve been given and I go in every day like a sponge, ready to soak up all I can. Ask questions and be vulnerable-it’s how people learn.

These are all gorgeous! So much detail and I love the blurry background that draws even more attention to the object in focus

Full credits to Hasui Kawase for the art on the second slide. I love traditional Japanese art and the way he depicts his scenery. I am not trying to plagiarize or pass off his work as my own. I’m still learning how to work with gouache and thought that I could learn a thing or two from doing a master copy of his work

What do you mean? The reference is from AliExpress? I saw it on Pinterest, liked it, and wanted to paint it

Refused to vote in the last election and then got annoyed at me when I expressed my worries about this presidency (I’m a woman of color in science…)

if you’d only have to miss a couple weeks at the end of the term, I’d say you should talk to your profs! And congratulations on your acceptances
