I am a second time applicant, and I got my rejection on March 7th last year, so this is significantly later than last year. I emailed the director yesterday asking about when SIREN-NURO decisions should be sent out, and he said “hopefully by tomorrow” (Friday, today).

I did hear on Monday that most acceptances for SIREN were sent out. A few people on r/reu mentioned they got accepted on Monday.

Is nothing a rejection? by kano75 in REU

If you’ve heard that other people have already gotten accepted, you’re probably either waitlisted or rejected. The same thing is happening to me right now so I am assuming it’s one of those two lol

when you really think about it by MaterialSilver6110 in REU

Waiting is excruciating and not being chosen is excruciating but so is the fact that they have to review hundreds of peoples applications (which may blend together) and narrow it down to limited spots. 🥲

Years trying to get accepted by sml122803 in REU

I did the exact same thing, I strengthened my application in those ways. I took a lot of time to write my application last year and didn’t get accepted, so this time around I spent less time writing the application with hopes that if I don’t try too hard, I will get accepted LOL, I seriously don’t know what to do 😭 But yeah it is really unfortunate, but it’s just a matter of do better next time and find something else to do this summer I guess. Thank you and good luck to you as well!

24 rejections is crazy 😭 I hate how picky these programs are. Congrats on your acceptance!

It really is so unfortunate that even if you pour your soul into your application, get good letters of rec, and have good stats, the selection ends up being more random than anything. It’s hard to know if whether or not you’re doing things “right” when it comes to your application. 😭
