I'm an undergrad math major at UCSD with 4.0 major GPA and 12 grad math/data science courses. I've been doing research in coding theory with Ken Zeger and in nearest neighbor search with Sanjoy Dasgupta. Both projects are currently being written up for journal submission. I also did a software engineering internship at Arista Networks. I'm applying in computer science with focus on algorithmic statistics and machine learning theory. I was told by a few professors I have very strong recommendation letters.

Results so far:

• Georgia Tech: Accepted

• U Wisconsin Madison: Accepted

• Yale: Accepted

• University of Washington: Accepted

• Brown: Accepted

• Stanford: Rejected

• CMU: Rejected

• Princeton: Rejected

• Cornell: Rejected

• Berkeley: Unofficially Rejected

• Harvard: Rejected

• UCSD EE: Unofficially Rejected

Of the pending universities, I've only interviewed at TTIC, NYU, UCSD CS, and informally at Columbia.

A school will resolve YES if I get accepted to the PhD program any time before Jan 1 2027, even if it is off a waitlist. Otherwise it will resolve NO. I will try to resolve each school as soon as I learn of their decision.
