Reached out by advisor I listed on SoP.

Well, I did not submit my GRE (The AW section is low). I am from a Top 20 - Top 30 U.S. university and haven't published any papers. I had two research experiences which are interdisciplinary ( not cs focused ) and TA experiences for two High-level CS courses. I guess the professors who wrote me LORs helped a lot in my application. Appreciate their efforts.

103 TOEFL. No internships. Published paper at unknown conference.
