Interview via E-mail on 20 Dec 2020

Note

Interviewed early January with fluids faculty. My GPA is pretty good for attending a rigorous & competitive undergraduate program (no where a near a 4.0 lol). I was a community college transfer. I did not report my GRE scores on my application (nothing stellar). I have one third author publication in a high impact journal pending. I've had two industry internships and conducted research at a national lab. I noticed the national lab I worked hires people from many different schools (including many that I've never heard of). I think fit is the most important thing for grad school. In the grand scheme of things I think what matters more is your personal effort and attitude.
