Why am I not getting accepted to SULI at NREL and Argonne?

[mjp_123]

I have applied to SULI the past two summers and have been declined. I believe I am a strong candidate; I have a 3.81 gpa, have done chemistry research in a materials science and computational chem lab, and been published twice as an undergrad. The two labs I applied for are NREL and Argonne for PV or battery research. I am not sure where I am going wrong. There is another application coming up May 30th. Any tips would help!

A. Maybe you didn't do anything wrong.

B. There is no way anyone can assess your application from a description that is 1% the length of the packet.
