I got accepted to all MLD, LTI, SCS, SocComp - they said they will be conducting a department-wide royal rumble to decide who gets to win me and my presence. Beyond funding, they offered models and bottles. A little bit about me: I have 12 publications as first author (4x ICML, 3x NeurIPS, 3x ICLR, 2x AAAI) of which only 11 are best papers. During my undergrad, I taught Andrew Ng Deep Learning (it took him some time but he eventually got it). My area of focus: quantum machine learning. Things I do better than you: all.

By the grace of God

Applied to both PhD and Masters. I believe they are considered independently.
