SULI Summer 2015: Selection Process & Application Q&A

In summary, SULI's selection process involves listing your top two choices for labs on the application. Your application is then sent to both of those labs, and the supervisor from your first-choice institution has priority in choosing you as their intern. There is no pre-screening by the DOE, but they do check for a minimum GPA requirement."

Does anyone know how SULI's selection process works? On the application you list your top two choices for labs; does your application get sent to those two labs for the mentors to pick or is there some sort of prescreening by the DOE? Thanks.

I was a SULI intern last year. I know that my application was sent to the place I ended up working (my first choice), and my supervisor chose me out of the bunch. From what I know, I think your application is also sent to your second-choice institution as well, and either one can pick you but the first place takes precedence. I don't think there's any pre-screening by the DOE, but only to make sure you have the minimum GPA and such.
