mrc is the residential component of urop where you live with other mrc students in mojo. mrc is definitely a lot more competitive since it only accepts about 120 students while urop accepts like 1000 first year students. also a lot of people apply to mrc to get good housing! I got rejected from mrc but accepted into urop health sciences.

if i got into UROP soc sci work study, how can i apply for MRC?

The MRC deadline was May 4, and those decisions came out before UROP decisions so it’s too late to apply

@Eeeee127 is correct.

MRC is significantly more competitive. MRC is more of a commitment (since you are literally living with other people doing research), but it gives you nice housing in MoJo. MRC also has more individualized attention.
