- Notes
- Bachelors in CS from top 7 IITs. Great academic performance. 4 years work exp. in natural language processing (NLP) and data science at a top Wall Street FinTech company (perhaps core tech company like FAANG would have been better for Stanford). Some research experience in NLP but no papers. Mentioned the prof I wanted to do research with at Stanford explored my plans and possible research directions I could take at their lab in my SOP. Applied last year as well, same outcome, exact same wording of the rejection email. Rejection email received on 20th March at 11:02 PST. TTPB: to the person accepted to Stanford MSCS but rejected by CMU CDS, I am pretty surprised. I feel that Stanford CS ~= CMU CS >> CMU CDS (+Stan has the location and weather going for it) I got an acceptance from CMU CDS which is a silver lining but absolutely devastated that I couldn't get into Stanford on my second attempt as well.
