If you're applying to schools that you know have REUs, if you have experience with REUs, and you actively want to be involved in running an REU, then it's probably a good idea to email the person who runs the REU at that school and mention this aspect of your application. | |

I don't have any experience mentoring undergraduate research, so I'll probably play this aspect of my application down. However, I very much like the idea of looking at the REUs the place has run in the past and seeing if there's any way to connect them to things I like to think about. | |
