SULI Summer 2015: Selection Process & Application Q&A

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The SULI (Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships) selection process involves applicants listing their top two lab choices, with applications sent directly to those labs for mentor selection. Previous interns confirm that applications are forwarded to both the first and second-choice institutions, allowing either to select the candidate, although the first choice holds priority. There is no pre-screening by the Department of Energy (DOE) beyond verifying minimum GPA requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the SULI program structure and objectives
  • Familiarity with application processes for internships
  • Knowledge of the role of mentors in internship selection
  • Awareness of academic requirements such as GPA
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the SULI program guidelines and application requirements
  • Explore mentorship roles within internship programs
  • Learn about the impact of GPA on internship applications
  • Investigate other internship programs offered by the DOE
USEFUL FOR

Students interested in applying for the SULI program, academic advisors guiding students on internship applications, and mentors involved in selecting candidates for research internships.

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.
