This years winners have excellent research proposals, demonstrated good progress towards their Comp 1 and Comp 2 milestones, obtained uniformly high grades in their graduate courses, and established a pattern of excellence both in terms of publication quality and publication venues, all backed up by exceptionally strong letters of reference.
