Hello people. I am currently a freshman at a UC majoring in math, and I plan to eventually go to a top grad school and get a phd in math. I just had a question about REUs because I heard they are important for grad school admissions. I noticed that most REUs are funded by NSF, but to receive funding you need to be a citizen or permanent resident of US. Unfortunately, I’m a undocumented student. So are there ant REUs for math that I can do without me requiring to be a citizen or permanent resident. Also are REUs really important? Can I just do research under a professor throughout the year? Any other tips and advice are welcome. Thanks
