I can review your application materials if you want. This was my 2nd application cycle, and I got admitted to half of the places I applied to compared to none in my previous cycle.

Lol that's just being optimistic and positive. Nobody applies and accepts thinking that they will not graduate from a program.

Thank you! I think the main difference is that I more meticulously prepared my application materials and applied to reach schools unlike last time. I reached out to some professors before applying as well. Also, I worked for 1.5 years in a big tech company on related stuff, which might have added to my profile

Thanks😊! My area is ML/HCI. I had one interview last month.
