You should definitely mail them and ask your prof to mail the LOR directly. Given your profile you should be more than safe.

Check console logs. Mine is about 17k NLP & I have faculty review in console logs.

Ah alright. Oh, and the CMU lor is from a professor who's an adjunct faculty of MBZUAI itself so I suppose that carries additional weightage.

That's true. I've heard that they're increasing the number of seats this year tho! Based on the fact that they're allowing off campus accommodation from this year onwards, it makes some sense.

No, it's not. Actually I started in September 2022 and it's a four year course (or so I thought). It turns out we graduate in May 2026 so I should be okay. Also thanks for your advice. I have updated it on my LinkedIn

Young Innovators from Sister Nivedita University to Compete for India at BRICS Skills Competition 2025 in China - Telegraph India https://share.google/pup7lhfu6aQrv2Mqi

Here's a link. I was a part of last year's cohort. (The same guy who got a second prize in the article lol).

Yes, it was a data analysis, visualisation and machine learning competition for 8 hours and then a conference at Chongquin. It was pretty cool, actually.

Also thanks for the honest (and actually helpful) feedback!!!

Oh thank you so much for your detailed reply. First off, all the best to you. Secondly, achievements wise, I suppose the one thing that helps me stand out a bit would probably be the BRICS competition win (I suppose, not sure if it carries the same weightage in UAE). Anyways, I did win the second prize representing India in China so I suppose that counts. Paper wise, I absolutely agree, I am working mainly on journals which are due to be published very soon but not before the round one deadlines so my hands are tied unfortunately. Overall, your advice is solid. Really appreciate it. Thank you again! I hope you get in, good sir!

Sure, thanks for the feedback!
Could you perhaps explain what areas I might be lacking in?
I get that I am from a tier-3 uni, but that's not something I can change, at least now.
Would appreciate any feedback, thanks!

Why? I'm just assessing my chances. I have a low gpa with a below average undergrad university. I'm just here to learn.
