DoE SULI/CCI 2026 Application/Acceptances & Expectations

[lom322007]

Hi all--

I submitted my application for the CCI around a month ago and the anticipation to see if I get accepted or not is overwhelming! My first and second-choice laboratories were INL and ORNL respectively. I wanted to make this thread to help track if anyone else has applied to this and see whether or not you got in too! Also, if anyone has past experience with SULI/CCI I wanted to inquire about how the acceptance rates were, what it was like reviewing an application, participating in the actual internship, etc etc.

Cheers!

Applied to DIII-D as my first choice and second choice Jefferson Lab. Still haven't heard back from them so I'm thinking I didn't get it. Have you heard back from either of them yet?

Sorry this came late, but this afternoon (3/3) I had my third interview and apparently 3/4 was the last day they could actually offer internships at INL.
I never even got into contact with ORNL, but that's probably because INL hadn't deferred me to them. I'm going to do nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics modeling with a team of about 2 other interns and 5-10 researchers!
I don't know if the dates are the same for DIII-D or Jefferson, but there's still a lot of time left for you to hear back!
