Dear Lavakesh,

We appreciate your enthousiasm and the honest statement concerning
your weaknesses (which are normal as you are an undergraduate),
but if more experienced students are candidates it is obvious that
they have higher chances.

As we wrote in the announcement the procedure is to contact the
mentor of the project, so that he you can discuss privately, if
it makes sense  or not for you to become candidate.

Best regards,

Andreas
