Notes
Their results process is literally the worst among all the universities that I applied to. **RANT BEGIN**. First of all, their portal is straight out of the 1990s/2000s and contains many UI dark patterns. Then the completely stupid process of "update pending" status in their application portal - why not simply send the result (even if it's a reject) via email - is it too difficult for the graduate committee to follow simple procedures. They made us wait for two whole days just to give a rejection - just send a mail instead - is it really that difficult? And finally, I have no idea of the basis on which they admit candidates. I am from a tier-1 institute with a high GRE/TOEFL score, multiple A* publications, and a high GPA. Certainly a better "profile" than many others that got admitted. Will be going to a top 8 university from which I have an admit. Am I salty and angry - yes, I absolutely am. **RANT END**
