REU application

We highly recommend that you fill out an application at least two weeks before the application deadline.  This will give your references ample time to write good letters of recommendation!

Application Procedure:

1) To complete an application, you will need to provide unofficial transcripts through the application system. However, official transcripts may be required prior to final admission decisions.

2) You will also need to provide contact information for two references who have agreed to write letters of recommendation for you and a personal statement. Recommendations on what to include in your personal statement are provided within the application system.

3) To get to the application system, please go to University of Virginia Application Management

4) Instructions for beginning your application: On the application-system page, click "create an account". After entering your basic information, you will receive a temporary PIN to activate your account from University of Virginia Graduate Admissions. The email will come from Graduate Admissions simply because they manage the application system, so rest assured that you are using the correct application system. Click "Start New Application" again. When the "Application Details" window appears, make sure the "Research Experience for Undergraduates" program is selected and click "Open Application". Complete all pages of the application. If you want, you can navigate between pages using the blue links on the left side of the screen. Finally, review, and submit your application.
