I already applied to another REU Site that used the common application. Do I still need to apply through the CAT Vehicle's process? These look like the same questions I just answered.
If you are interested in CAT Vehicle, we recommend you go ahead and fill out our application. Most of the Common Application questions will be the same (and we know this is boring). The way the common application works, you are considered in other programs only after they have evaluated their first set of applicants. Importantly for us, we need your Step 2 application, which will give us (and you) an idea of whether the CatVehicle REU and you are a good fit.
