@Ryuk Thank you for the advice! I haven't specifically asked any professors, but there are four who know me very well (two are well-known academics with Wikipedia pages and two are in their early 30s). In terms of research, I hope to publish a paper in deep learning/CS by the end of the summer (it's more on the applied side unfortunately). Also, I am working with two professors on statistics research. The work is highly theoretical, and I think I can publish results within the next 18 months.
@dobzhanskyThank you for your feedback! In terms of fellowships, other than Knight-Hennessy, my understanding is that they are only available for US citizens/permanent residents (I'm international). Will it be held against me if I do not have any prestigious fellowships?

@Ryuk Thank you so much! Also congratulations!! Getting into those schools is super impressive. My school does not have awards for classes, but I have participated in my country's national math olympiad in high school, and I've been practicing the Putnam. Can I make up for not having math awards for classes with math contest stuff?
@trynagetby and @kingduck and @BL4CKxP3NGU1N and @Stat Phd Thank you so much for the input! I will make sure to have good relationships with my profs.
@dobzhansky That makes a lot of sense. I will definitely look into it.
Thank you so much to all of you!
