Notes
VG/G, VG/VG, E/VG. Applying as an undergrad. They seemed impressed with my academic record and proposal, although the first reviewer was concerned that I didn't have a strong enough plan for community outreach. Another reviewer mentioned that while my proposal sounded like a solid plan, my previous research experiences were not related to my proposal, so that raises some doubt about my ability to carry it out. I'm bummed about this one but I'm still going to Berkeley! Good luck to everyone else.
