Note

Let me tell you a truth. This school shows off a lot by saying terms like diversity, underrepresented students etc. But the truth is you cannot get into these programs if you don't have much connections (or at least they know your school name). Which one brings diversity? 1. A student from top US unis who have got the scope of internship in big companies and got good lors despite having little or no evidence of research papers? 2. A student from a lesser known uni but with good research papers in internationally recognized venues and lors (might be from people they don't know well). Stanford like school will accept student 1 whereas in reality if student 2 can produce good research from a lesser known school, imagine how potential he is.
