- (ML Department). Background: MS CS from a top university for AI in the US. 1 first author publication in a top ML theory conference. Undergrad from a tier 1 engineering institute in India. Low undergraduate GPA (7.6/10), but that was in 5 years ago. Masters GPA 3.95. I had only heard that CMU metrics were weird, and now I have seen them. I had spoken with a professor who would have admitted me had I passed the first round. If this is their way of selecting candidates, is CMU even a dream school? I am sure MIT, Stanford have a more clear criteria of selecting candidates. CMU isn't so great in TCS anyway! P.S. By top I mean ranked within top 15 of US news and top 10 engineering schools in India.
