""MIT Abounds With UROP Students""
The most recent issue of MIT's student newspaper The Tech had a nice spread about summer UROPs. UROP is MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, and is the oldest and most extensive program involving undergraduate students doing real research. You'll hear lots about UROP as you learn more about MIT.
You can read more about UROP from a student perspective on Melis' blog, and read further about more actual student UROPs:
- Bryan's UROP
- Sam's UROP
- Mollie's UROP
- Mollie's UROP #2
- Adam's (Mollie's fiance's) UROP
- Michael Xiang's UROPs
- Laurie Burns' UROP
- Boris Alexeev's UROP
- Jugal Shah's UROP
- Vivek Venkatachalam's UROP
- Jenny Hu's UROP
- Sid Puram's UROP
- Issel Lim's UROP

When my friend and I visited MIT and learned about UROP, we were struck dumb by its promise of such easy access to real research. We were very, very impressed with it; we went on a few more tours that week and as we sat next to each other writing on little 4x6s we would compare and contrast. We'd write "UROP? ;)?" and then little sad faces next to it as each other institution failed to hold a candle to MIT's excellently developed program. UROP sets the bar pretty darn high for undergraduate research, or at least that's how it has seemed as I visit elsewhere.

Not to be pedantic, but I believe Adam is my "fiance" with one e -- I'm fairly sure he's a boy. :)

My application tracking says there is no EC in my area so my interview's been waived. Can this change? Is that final? just curious, thanks.
