1 first-author paper from highly respected international conference, 1 patent and 1 defensive publication from co-op terms. 3 years of research, 4 co-op terms; finishing MASc at a top Canadian university. Oh well, was a bit of a long shot anyway, and the tuition fees would have been ruinous if I'd gotten an offer without financial aid. Congrats to those who got in :)

Over 4 years of research experience (2 years part-time in undergrad, 1 summer internship at top biomedical research institute, 2 years full-time post grad). 2 publications (1 accepted in high IF journal, 1 in revision in ok journal). 9 poster presentations at several local, regional and national conferences. 3 strong letters of recommendation. Accepted to DOW-MIT Access program as an undergrad. I don't think they were able to look past my undergrad GPA and GRE scores (as if they even matter in graduate school lmao). Congrats to all of you who did get accepted!

It was certainly a long shot since I didn't reach out to faculty. According to my POI's website, the faculty have no say in the decision (which I highly doubt), so I'm not sure how to interpret my lack of reaching out. Otherwise, my other stats for those interested: 2 years part-time research at home faculty, 2 REUs, 2 strong letter of recs, executive board leadership positions in 4 campus organizations (including a national organization), tons of academic engineering projects

Lousy general GRE scores =(. Well, if I'm going to be rejected from anywhere, it'd better be MIT.
