How hard to get REU at Fermi Lab?

Also is it better than doing research with professor in school? If you had to choose

Fermilab does not offer REUs. Do you mean an internship? I did the SULI one there... a lot of fellow interns only had minor research experience. It seems to be a crapshoot, ~300 people applied and only ~6 of us got it. Unfortunately, with those odds, luck matters much more than skill.
