Disappointed… 1 IEEE conference, and 2 national conference paper. 3years of research experience. Well, now i have journal and other awards from conferences. If I had this 5 month ago… maybe result was not the same.

That's second year in a row. A bit surprised honestly but we move on : Stats : 2 publications in IEEE national conferences, 3 internships at Indias top labs : IIT + IISc + another top lab. Led 2 projects with a combined funding of over $80k. 6 other academic projects : mostly design, robotics and manufacturing related. President of a major club. Strong loR from Chancellor of univ, lab PI and a senior mech prof in my dept. hurts because its 2nd time but sometimes you just gotta let it go! Congrats to all the admits!!
