Inorg chem track. International student with 3.94 GPA, no GRE, 2 publications, 1 conference talk, 22 months research overall and 3 LORs from research faculty. Surprised that I didn't get an interview

Not surprised tho as I do not have 3.9 GPA (It's impossible to get 3.9 due to our harsh grading system in my country). Had EPFL, TUM and ETH PhD offer as my last resort.

Organic... No surprises here
