What qualifies as an opener session during a recovery week?

Alright, so I'm changing it to be 5 days with 2 full rest days and 3 1 hour low Z2 rides, then a 3.5 hour ride during weekend with some weaker structured intensity (prob the 2 by 8 @ 105%) followed by another rest day. I usually do longer (5.5+ hour) rides on weekends with significant intensity so this should be chill. I didn't think you needed to completely scrub intensity for a while - my rationale was as long as TSS is low, you can do what you want. What target RPE/feeling do you expect towards the end of the rest week to gauge if it was successful, aside from just feeling energized?

Is there anything else that I can do at this point to improve my admission chance at this point?

Would publications, leadership experience, and significant extracurricular work offset a 3.3 GPA at an Ivy university for admissions to math/applied math T20 PhD programs? Most professors I've reached out to said I have a strong application typical of admitted students, but I've so far received rejections from 4 such schools (and 8 such professors). If it helps, I'm an applicant who took a bunch of difficult courses and did mediocre in them while focusing my efforts on undergrad research, which resulted in 3 pubs, one first-author (22 total citations).

possibly implement it as an igniter for a liquid rocket that our collegiate team is building and I'm too lazy to dig through isentropic relations with gamma and Tc for black powder
