I have applied to the SULI program for this summer (2016) and I haven't gotten a response back. I applied to LBNL and NREL. From previous years, it seems like now is the time that the first round of acceptances is sent out. Has anyone else heard anything? Thanks.

I got an offer last week for SULI summer 2016. Applied to SLAC and LLNL, got in SLAC.
 
I suppose I am being a snob and possibly impatient, but I'm surprised I haven't been offered anything yet. I know my skills, interests, and coursework are very aligned with the programs I applied to, and I have even done an internship there last year. Now, I am afraid I may be offered nothing from SULI.

I applied to both SLAC and LBNL.

Good luck everyone!
 
I applied to SLAC and LLNL and got accepted to SLAC. I heard back on February 17th but maybe they do multiple waves of acceptances?

I did the same thing!: Applied to SLAC and LLNL and got my notification on Feb 18 from SLAC and accepted it right away. Did you accept your SLAC offer?
 
Yep! I'll be there this summer!
