Notes
I had three "interviews" to find a fit for me. Three different labs, one technical internship(related to current research), and e-board of SWE, Engineering Education, and other engineering societies/clubs. Received 2021 NSF GRFP. No papers/abstracts. Did not submit GRE scores, but scored around the 65th percentile. A BS in ME from a state/public school. Reasons why I may have been accepted: Super solid recommendation letters(current PI, internship Supervisor, my PI/prof from my first lab in freshman year), talked about trying different research fields/labs which may have demonstrated serious interest in current research, and very involved with my department I turned down the offer because it didn't fit my research/career goals.
