In their exit survey, 10 out of 26expressed their intention of joining graduate schools. Specifically, their average GPA when theyapplied for the REU program was 3.44 out of 4. Since the goal of the REU program was to fosterresearch interest in underrepresented students, we did not choose REU trainees based on theirGPA. Instead, we put more emphasis on underrepresented, female, and first-generation collegestudents. It’s worth mentioning that 75% of this REU trainee group was female orunderrepresented minority students. About
