<p>-Three of my professors are writing the letters of recommendation, One of them is also the chair of our department, and the other one is the dean for undergraduate research. They know me well and wrote strong letters.</p>
<p>-I did study each program that I applied to and in my SoP, I mentioned the name of professors I would like to work with, and my reasons for applying to their program.

<p>I applied to the following graduate programs:
-UT Austin Masters program
-Princeton University PhD program
