One submitted paper for an A* conference. 1+ years of undergrad research experience. 3 months of research internship at a very prestigious research institute in Europe, and an incoming research internship at another very prestigious research institute in Europe. An exchange semester at a top research uni in the Netherlands, with term average 9.1/10 (Dutch grading). Among the 10% of the students (by GPA) from a top uni in my country. Ranked 1st in class of 100+ students in multiple CS courses.

1 internship, 1 research experience, top recommendation letters, rich extracurricular activities. Bachelor's of Engineering in Chemical Engineering from
