Not specifically for Aniket but for others who are waiting for the
last moment to get their proposals in. The idea of the timeline for
proposal submission is to encourage conversation and proposal fine
tuning. This is not a sprint where you conserve your energy and then
rush past the post. If you are doing that, you are actually missing
out on giving the mentors a chance to gain confidence in your proposal
because they never had an opportunity to hold a conversation.

Once the proposal submission window closes, you lose the chance to
edit the proposal. So, if the mentor doesn't have high confidence in
that version of your proposal, tough luck.
