Computer Science PhD Graduate School Admission Results

CS Track, NLP Focus 10 mins interview 2 weeks ago

Posted on UD application portal. No info on funding yet , but i guess that’ll come out soon.

I got accepted to all MLD, LTI, SCS, SocComp - they said they will be conducting a department-wide royal rumble to decide who gets to win me and my presence. Beyond funding, they offered models and bottles. A little bit about me: I have 12 publications as first author (4x ICML, 3x NeurIPS, 3x ICLR, 2x AAAI) of which only 11 are best papers. During my undergrad, I taught Andrew Ng Deep Learning (it took him some time but he eventually got it). My area of focus: quantum machine learning. Things I do better than you: all.

Invited to the campus visit, but rejected... The prof inviting me is to have a sabbatical with no hiring. Suprised to know... Four years research experience, many projects. 3 publication (1 first author), 1 under review, 2 preprint (both first author)

No publications but had full external funding from prestigious fellowship- so a little surprised

I was really sad when I got the rejection letter as the research group seemed like a perfect match for me. But now I’ve noticed even several candidates with good GRE scores got rejected too, so it seems this year was super competitive.

Applied to CS PhD, received rejection for 2nd choice program (MSCS) with no word from PhD. Assuming rejection for both. Standard e-mail, 1200 applications, no mention of how many were admitted.
