<p>Hi, how does one sign up for UROP for work-study.</p>
<p>It should asked you in your acceptance letter if you want to do UROP for credits or work-study. You can submit your acceptance letter online.</p>
<p>My question: How do you drop out of UROP? I can't find a UROP email that works.</p>
<p>"How do you drop out of UROP?"</p>
<p>Good choice!</p>
<p>"I can't find a UROP email that works."</p>
<p>Don't register for it. They might bug you with an email if you don't show up but if you don't register for it there is nothing they can do. </p>
<p>I didn't register for the second semester and about halfway through I get an email saying something like "you didn't submit a contract and you haven't been coming to the seminars... if you want to withdraw you need to come down to the office, blah blah blah" Well, ignoring it worked out well for me. They didn't bother me again! :)</p>
<p>But what about those poor waitlisted people?</p>
<p>You're saving them a lot of misery, they should be grateful!</p>
<p>LOL, is UROP really that bad?</p>
<p>it's a good stepping stone for more advanced research and u might make a few connections, but other than that, ur not doing anything that's important, and it's better to find a real lab position and get paid</p>
<p>My UROP was terrible, getting out of that place felt like a great accomplishment. Let's just say that most of the forefront researchers aren't running to get their name included in the UROP project booklet. The research I'm doing this summer (which I got simply by talking to a professor) is much more significant, in both the research itself and my role in it (which is still, admittedly, not huge). In addition, you have to attend pointless seminars every week that usually have nothing to do with your topic and are more suited to junior high kids. For each one you have to fill out "journal" assignments. You also have to meet with your peer advisor each month, which amounts to nothing more than you having to wake up hella early for no reason. (I had to be there at 8 AM twice because the afternoon spots fill up <em>really</em> quickly.) I think you'll find it a lot more rewarding (in many ways) if you find a research position yourself. (I also hate the attitude of the UROP directors... one kid who was waitlisted for the program was in the office looking at the project book and the woman ripped it out of his hands and kicked him out.)</p>
<p>woo...now I regret signing up for UROP. Since I haven't officially started a project, how do I get out of it? I hear that it's really time consuming for the number of credits that you're getting (2 free electives?). Honestly, I really wanna save those free electives for super easy classes.</p>
<p>My schedule:
MATH 215 - Calc III (4 credits)
Engr 101 - Intro to Comp. Prog. (4 credits)
Chem labs (2 credits)
Some random humanity (3 credits)
So just 13 credits total w/o UROP, wow, I'm lazy.</p>
<p>Samwise, would you recommend at least trying out UROP? I signed up for that because I did want some kind of research experience. Maybe it's not as substantial as some other kinds of research with profs, but would you still say it's a good opportunity? Also, I thought it was a yearly thing, not semesterly. Then I guess I could stop after first semester.</p>
