As one of those mentors struggling to finish ranking and grading the 
applications, I'll just confirm that there's no guarantees.  We had 225 
applications this year for somewhere between 5 and 10 slots (not exactly sure 
how many Google will give us) -- so the competition is very tough. 
Unfortunately, like last year, some very qualified students with good ideas 
are *not* going to get a slot.

The fact that you are willing to put your ideas out in the community for 
discussion is commendable and certainly distinguishes you from many other 
applicants.  After last year, the mentors agreed that we should have had more 
community participation earlier in the SoC projects.  Anyway,  keep up the 
good work :-)
