Hi Rahul,
Sure, I have some feedback; I'll email it to you off-list, because it doesn't really
contain much transferable to other students :)
Best,
Marcus

Hey everyone,
First of all, congratulations to all those who got accepted for GSoC 2025 and good luck
with your projects.
This is a request for the mentors, I would like it if you could tell us what the
differentiating factors were between the proposals of those which are accepted and those
that didn't. I am aware there are limited spots but there must be something that made the
winning proposals stand out from the rest of them. The answer would be really helpful for
me as well as others who may try GSoC 2026.
In my case, with the Array Processing Toolbox <https://github.com/Ashborn-SM/GSoC-
Proposal/blob/main/latex/main.pdf> project proposal, I believe my shortfall was proposing
an ambitious project without any interactions or getting any suggestions from the mentors,
lacking contents in the proposal, and rushed all together at the end. If there's anything
more please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
rahul pillai
