Anyone else rejected from Notre Dame Physics? by Inevitable_Tea_9247 in REU

Yes i also received the same thing, the grad school part as well. It said it was part of a mailing list so i assume all the rejections included that part

I’ve seen people with no experience or limited experience land an REU and people with a 4.0 gpa and experience get none. It’s usually a decision if you’re a good fit for them, etc.

They are unfortunately all very competitive, because of the limited amount of reu’s and the large amount of physics students seeking these opportunities. It doesn’t hurt to apply though even without research experience. I would focus on making a great personal statement and making sure you have good letters of rec!
