hang in there, you are probably on waiting list for those programs, so hopefully spots will start to open up; getting in as freshman is always the hardest and it only gets easier as you get more research experience
I applied to three back when i was freshman, and only got into 1 REU the first time (yea all those summer programs are like <10% admittance, so you never know).

^^^^ Thank-you for the help, I was just rejected from Baylor Smart, but I knew that was coming, because when I told them that I am a freshman, they told me that they don't take freshman.
