SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on strategies for finding and securing physics internships, particularly for students completing their sophomore year. Key recommendations include applying to all Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) and SULI internships, with an emphasis on obtaining letters of recommendation. The SULI application typically opens in mid-October and closes around January 10th, while REU applications generally begin in early December. Participants also suggest compiling a list of potential internships to streamline the application process.
