DoE/SULI Acceptances: Applying & Expectations

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the anxiety and anticipation surrounding the acceptance notifications for the Department of Energy (DoE) Summer Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) and related programs. Participants share their experiences and timelines, noting that acceptance notifications can vary by lab, with many expecting updates around late February. There is a consensus that the application status often remains "pending review" until decisions are made, leading to heightened anxiety among applicants. Some participants have received offers from their top-choice labs, while others are still waiting for responses. The conversation highlights the importance of patience and communication with potential mentors while navigating the application process.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that all applicants who are not selected are notified by April 1st or something like that. But I can't seem to find where it said that now, so I may be thinking of something else.

Which offer did you end up accepting?

I'll be heading to University of Colorado - Boulder. I'm super excited but, like I said, I would never turn down a nice ego boost :)

Nice! Congrats! UC Boulder is one of the schools I was considering applying to transfer to in the fall, but after looking at out of state tuition costs, I decided to stay within Illinois.

For those of you that applied to NREL, they should be sending out acceptances soon. I was offered a position, but since I had already accepted a position elsewhere, I had to decline.

Too funny. I'm also in Illinois and I was applying to everywhere just to get OUT of here. But then again, no out-of-state tuition for REUs! :)

Has anyone else heard back from their mentors yet? I heard from my mentor at Fermilab a couple weeks ago.

I'm going to be monitoring the stability of the neutrino beam for NuMI and MiniBooNE. That's pretty much all I know at this point. My mentor sent me a couple hundred pages of suggested reading as well. I've been working my way through this between my course work. I can't wait to finally get there!
