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.

Physics news on Phys.org
I am currently finishing my freshman year, and I got a 4.0 first semester. Is it worth it to still apply with so little coursework? One of the labs is in very close proximity to where I live (JLab) and it would be nice to do an internship there, especially since it's a field I'm interested in.
 
I'd say wait a couple more years.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
