Notes
From a German university, but not a highly ranked one like TUM or KIT (QS around 450). TOEFL 106. Two letters of recommendation—one might be strong, but I’m not sure what "strong" means in this context. Research experience includes a research internship at MPI, one year as a TA, and one year working at a research institution. Started working in a lab this fall. My Statement of Purpose might have been good, but I have no real benchmark for comparison. Honestly, I didn’t expect to get in, especially after reading the rejections here. My grades are generally strong, but my transcript isn’t perfect—there’s a small note, more of a detail, that I thought might get me rejected. My worst grades (2.0 and 1.7) are in math-related subjects, so I was worried that might hurt my chances. Still a bit surprised, but I’m excited for the opportunity and will do my best!
