<p>Hi I'm currently a sophomore doing premed in a combined BS/MD program. I'm wanting to get some research experience over summer 2013 and I am looking into the numerous REU programs in biology and chemistry.</p>
<p>I was wondering- how competitive are these? A lot of universities host them, including some in my home state (none at the LAC I go to though) so is it a good idea to apply to a lot of them? </p>
<p>Also, what are some of the stats of those usually getting accepted? My school runs on trimesters and after four trimesters, I have a 3.83 overall and 3.79 math+science.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
