Doing research in an area that is interesting to you Your research could lead to publication(s) Exploring new places and meeting great scientists Research experience will help in making informed career decisions It is great experience to list on your resume for graduate school as well as job applications

You will need to offer a convincing argument for why you are interested. You just need to “sell” your skills. Good grades and good references are important Many of the REU programs prefer the under-represented groups/schools.
