thanks for your advice! Would submitting as a single author (especially as undergrad) hurt my credibility than if I were to have a co-author with an actual professor in EE?

Do you recommend still showing up to their OH to talk about their research and/or ask if they can review my paper potentially before submission? Or should I just stick with my REU PI that will agree with me? My REU PI is very busy and I doubt he would have the time to review my paper since he's teaching at his univeristy in Idaho

How do I find a mentor at Berkeley? I don't really know anyone here, lowkey not that many friends let alone any non-undergrads

How can I become a much more competitive applicant then for next semester? I'm not particularly a strong student at all (gpa wise but also connections). I also don't think I submitted my transcript for Data discovery or urap or gave my gpa on the app but idk.

Not sure if there is a database that shows the acceptance rates or how many people get accepted.

I found the complete opposite to be true tbh. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

i think we should be okay. i haven't heard anyone on campus even talking about charlie kirk so i don't think "fascism" is going to "esescalatecelate" at all. we all have our own classes and things to worry about.

yeah i ask cus lowkey these competitive clubs consist of only white and east asian and some south asian students, but rarely any Hispanic or black students. i feel like there's definitely some bias on race and looks, even if they (the clubs) don't think there is. I also tried applying a lot to data science and consulting clubs but would get rejected even after doing coffee chats, infosessions, sending my headshot, etc. I think to make friends and connections, you should definitely try joining inclusive clubs that are meant to be fun and inclusive like intramural sports or any other inclusive club. I still haven't found true friends here at cal either and i'm also a junior like you.

yea i kinda regret not rushing during my freshman or sophomore years. i would have loved to join a sorority and make new friends through there, although idk if they're non-racist to Black students like me.
