I actually wanna know more about SURF. I am in 3rd year EECE right now and international. On the website, they say that you have to choose a mentor from the faculty listing and then contact them. Come up with an idea for summer research and discuss with them. Based on that, you should apply for SURF. Generally 70 % of all the students are accepted. But they don’t guarantee the 5k stipend to international students. If you randomly contact a Caltech prof. regarding SURF, will he respond eagerly like, will he take any interest at all ?
