I believe that I am on a waitlist for Northwesteren, I am hoping to work with Prof. Kaitlin Smith. If you have better offers at hand, please reject NW, as this is my only chance to start PhD this upcoming fall(2024). And, I do really want to work in her group (Quantum Computing/Quantum Hardware)! If anyone has any information about this lab/group please contact me!! Thanks! I saw someone doing this type of entry, thought maybe it's a good idea to reduce my stress haha.

Top German CS university, CS Major Top 3% out of 300. 6 semesters. 3 big industry experience. 1 tutor experience. Distinctive Thesis. 1 Strong 2 moderate recommendations

POI reached out asking for a zoom meeting. After that, scheduled another zoom with a current student to talk more about the lab projects.

Received application update email, surprised cause I thought it would be out next week. This is for OMSCS btw.

Research/internship experience/one supporting author

GPA 1.02/1.0 - BSc from University of Technology in Austria - 1 strong and 1 exceptional LoR - teaching experience

Notified via mail that my application is no longer under consideration for CS, and I can switch to Information Science or Telecommunications. Surprising decision, but applying late might have hampered my chances.

MCS. Undergrad from a tier 2 college(Vit/manipal/srm). 4 internships. 1 review paper. 0 work experience.
