College of Engineering Dean's Scholarship

No GRE

thesis program (plan 1)

Received fellowship nomination from a professor, yet got rejected from the univerisity directly, without letting the professor know. I believe this rejection was more out of political reasons.

interview b/w 23feb to 9 march, mail from prof to confirm shortlist

Unexpected interview with POI

GPA on a 10 scale: 8.73 on time of application. I have one conference paper in a relatively low level intenational conference, one journal paper manuscript that was under review at the time of application, and interned at a company in my place that is from Denmark. LoRs were pretty good, currently in a research internship with a prof while writing the application. Though most of my work is computational in nature, I heavily leaned towards the research theme (which I have heard EU unis don't prefer at the masters level). Sad that it was not an acceptance, and I have to wait till May to get any further decision :(
