Notes
Well, I'm a bit surprised since no academics got back to my emails and I was seeing all these rejections here. Focus wind energy/micro-nano heat transfer/ environmental thermohydraulics (pretty much all 5 energy academics fit). Finished a top UK university as a US national, GPA 3.85/4 (9th in the cohort), GRE: Q 170/170, V 161/170, AW 5.5/6, no publications, two months of research, strong recommendation letters. So far gotten rej from Princeton and Georgia and into UCLA and Michigan Ann Arbor. Especially for the Ann Arbor one, I landed that one through emails, chase academics of your interest.
