The Selection Process
In April, just a few days before the acceptance announcements, my mentor informed me that Google would likely select two projects from US OSPO, and mine was ranked third. This news was a bit disheartening, but I wasn’t too disappointed. I knew I hadn’t given my 100%, and the knowledge and experience I gained were invaluable for future attempts.
Then, on May 2nd, 2024, I received an email that changed everything: “GSoC 2024: Congratulations, your proposal with US OSPO has been accepted!” The feeling was indescribable. I was over the moon with joy and excitement. Adding to the thrill, I had an exam in 10 hours, which made the moment even more surreal.
