Hey guys,

Has anyone done an internship at SLAC?
If so, what was your experience? Please describe in detail.

I applied for a one year internship there, and I'm really hoping to get it. I want some more "hands on/laboratory" work before graduate school.

Currently, I have been accepted into grad school for physics, but I haven't accepted any offers yet because I'm still waiting to hear back from SLAC (I'll accept if I don't hear back by the end of the first week of April.)

If anyone has any information to contribute about their internship experience at SLAC, I'd be very appreciative.
