New member, sorry if this is in the wrong forum 
So I want to do an REU for biology involving either plant genomics, or molecular biology.
I’m a white female, go to UNT (not so great public uni), have a 4.0 gpa, am a sophmore biochemistry major, and have little research experience bc my school has few opportinities.
If I have good LORs and a stellar personal statement, what are my chances of getting into ANY (even lower tier) REUs? I’m going to apply to 10-15.
Thanks
You get no chance if you don’t apply. They are competitive, you have good stats, apply, see what happens.
