**Status:** Accepted

**Application Date:** 02/17/2019

**Decision Date:** 03/15/2019

**Education:**

University of California, Irvine, B.S. Electrical Engineering, 3.1/4.0

**Experience:**

1 year doing machine learning research in an academic setting using Python, C++, and C#

2 years doing game development work using C#

**Recommendations:** 3 recommendations (2 from professors and 1 from a former TA)

**Comments:** I've felt pretty lost, depressed, and without much confidence since finishing up my bachelor's degree and didn't really have any idea whether I'd get in or not given my relatively low GPA, non-CS degree, and fairly insignificant experience, but for whatever reason, Georgia Tech decided to admit me. I'm still a bit shocked, but I'm grateful to the admissions committee for the chance they took on me, and I'll make sure I don't let them down. I feel like I have some kind of direction again. To everyone else hoping to get in, best of luck! For those interested, the computer science-related classes that I took in my undergraduate curriculum were C programming, "advanced" C programming, computer networks, two classes on digital signal processing, machine vision, my senior project, and I suppose digital design/logic if you want to count that. Outside of school, I self-studied topics like algorithms and data structures as well as object-oriented programming, and took a MOOC on databases.
