Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships

AI Thread Summary
The SULI application deadline is approaching on February 1, prompting discussions about its relevance for students. One participant, currently finishing their freshman year with a 4.0 GPA, questions whether to apply given their limited coursework. They express interest in an internship at a nearby lab, JLab, which aligns with their field of interest. However, there is a suggestion to consider waiting a couple of years before applying to gain more experience and coursework.

I'd say wait a couple more years.
