Hi Charlie, I was writing a much longer email, but let's first get the formal blocker out of the way:
You need to upload a proof of enrollment before you can even upload your proposal to the GSoC website. The latter needs to happen by March 31, no exceptions. Will that work out for you? A 19 day timeframe from "I anticipate I will be eligible" to "I'm definitely eligible, here's my proof of enrollment (not: acceptance)" sounds ambitious. **Will** that work out? If it won't, it might be smarter to prepare this for the coming year.
