- Someone asked for an admitted student to post their stats, so I thought I'd post mine. Reading through who has been rejected, I am amazed I got in. I feel very lucky, and I hope that you all get good offers from other schools :) I go to a very non-prestigious or selective (but still nice!) state school and my undergrad is in computer science. I have a 3.877 GPA, have been doing research in AI/ML for two years with an awesome professor, and am co-authored on three publications in social network modeling, one of which was also accepted at a AAAI conference. I also work as a grader for my uni's AI course (both this semester and last). I do have some unique aspects to my personal history that might've helped my application as well; I started college when I was 16 and have a lot of artistic pursuits on my resume. Two of my rec letters were from CS faculty at my school, and the third was from a creative writing instructor I am very close to. Best of luck to everyone this season! Oh, and I didn't take the GRE! Actually, I wasn't going to apply to grad school in CS until they decided to waive the GRE--I took the ACT five times in high school because I'm neurotic, and quite honestly, I can't make myself go through standardized testing again.
