Congratulations Sarthak!

I have submitted my application on 30 August. Didn't get any response yet (not even the rejection mail). :(

It can be the case that the seats would've gotten full in which case you'll get a fast track code for the next slot. That's way better than a rejection email so don't loose hope yet ;)

Congrats man!
Since you would have completed the fellowship by now,
Is it possible to manage University along with this?
I have 16 credits lined up for spring and also want to do open source contribution.
Is it possible?
Thanks
