Tsinghua University, undergraduate major in Civil Engineering

had an interview with the faculty earlier.

US Citizen done undergrad in India

After what felt like an eternity of waiting, I’m excited to share that I’ve finally received my first acceptance! Honestly, my interview didn’t go as well as I hoped – I felt like the PI wasn’t too enthusiastic, almost as if they were going through the motions. But it turns out, I was totally wrong. It’s my safe school, but I’m still holding out hope for Berkeley and LTI. No rejection yet, so there’s still a chance I could be waitlisted because my interviews here went super awesome. Worst case, Cornell will be my next big adventure!

Got acceptance by email from the department. Final email will come in the next few days
