<p>How long were everyone's answers to the questions on the urop application? After getting the email from urop about the amount of applications this year, I'm paranoid that I'll get denied because my answers were very brief!</p>
<p>I had really brief (like 2 sentence) answers too. I didn’t really care. I think UROP has like a huge (90%+?) acceptance rate and you can always find research on your own, I heard that’s not hard. So no need to worry really I’d say.</p>
<p>You might be able to find a project on your own but only students in the UROP program have access to the updated project book which lists every project sponsored by UROP, the professors contact information etc… so that you can set up interviews. I would encourage you to give the program a try. I had a great experience!</p>
