Have strong connection with one professor, but apparently he isn't involved in commitee. No pub but have 1.5 years master research and thesis.

I was unable to manage any professor from Clemson University, although I did emailed quite a few of them. As a result, I got rejected from the PhD program. Following rejection, they offered self-funded masters program.

I was offered admission to their MS degree program instead with the option to then apply internally for the PhD program once I complete the MS coursework.

Rejection reason: most probably cgpa. I checked in reddit, a person with 9.5/10 got accepted. Despite low cgpa, I had significant research experience and aircraft Design competition experience, but they got overlooked due to the low cgpa. It was expected though since they are grand ecole and normally they will provide more priority to cgpa....just an insight if anyone thinks that grand ecole evaluates application holistically. They Don't. Cgpa is their first filter.

Was accepted to the MS program automatically. I was notified about this 2 days later with a link to a fellowship program
