  • Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:
    - Should have sent my Siemens-Westinghouse research paper?
    - Maybe also should have done an interview (which I scheduled today).

I've got to say, this was surprising and somewhat disappointing. :/ I thought the rank would help for sure, considering how ridiculously competitive a class of over 1000 is (our school has over 4250 people). But oh well, I guess I'll just submit my research paper and do the interview for RD....
