Sample Application

Application Form

On this webpage you will find the application form for the MacREU program. To fill out this form, you must send an email to macreu@engr.ucr.edu from your school/college email account in order to receive a unique link to this page; you must use your unique link so that we can properly track your application.

You can save your work on the application any time and return to your saved application by clicking on the same unique link. Once you are done, check the 'Application Complete' box in the bottom and save once more. Once you do that, your application cannot be edited/viewed anymore and you will be considered for admission to the MacREU program.

Be sure to complete the three statement fields at the bottom of the application form. Please write your three essays in a word processor and copy/paste them in here. Your three essays will be important in the selection process so be sure to write these as well as you can. Applicants who do not fill out any of the three essays will be ineligible for the program.

When you sent an email to macreu@engr.ucr.edu, you should have received separate links to send to your letter writers. Please forward these to the professors who you want to write letters for you, and be sure to give them ample time to write their letter before the deadline.

Please note: We will protect the privacy of your application. We recommend that you do not share your unique application link with anyone as your application data is available to anyone who has access to the link. We will share your application only with one or more faculty/administrators of your college and possibly related colleges so that they may assist us in ranking the applicants. We also will use the information you provide in your application for research on effectiveness of this program and for reporting to donors/funding agencies.
