Brown University Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

Got an update via e-mail to check portal, extremely short and genetic rejection letter. Applied sometime in Feb. From tier 2 Indian University, (167Q/157V GRE), (~3.8/4 GPA), 5 mediocre scopus papers (IEEE Springer confs and 2 intl journals), interned at IISc twice; ISRO and Cisco once; and full time exp at Cisco. Congrats to the admits!

Saw an update on the portal, no notification email. Already committed to another program, so honestly don't care :D

Ignore waitlist. TTPB: I'm in the same situation, haven't received either a rejection or an admit yet. I think the portal people are mentioning is the same static portal with the application checklist. In other schools, when there's an update on your application and they send you the email with the link to the same application portal, the "update available" link (or smth similar) appears above the application checklist, you can click on that and see your decision.

What portal does everyone keep mentioning? I never got a link to any portal (other than the one I submitted application through but that's a pretty static portal)

I was one of the posters asking if they would tell me if I was on the waiting list before Jeff replied. but reading Jeff's explanation closely it sounds like we can assume we are rejected if we havent heard back but they havent sent rejections because some "late" faculty did not do anything yet. I appreciate he came here to reply to us and Jeff even said he does not do admissions. either way it's not okay to post racist garbage here and thankfully that post was deleted

To the comments below; I also don't really like the way that Brown is doing it, but it seems to be a pretty standard thing at a lot of schools. From my non-acceptances this year, less than half were prompt rejections - in my case, UT, UW, Stanford, and (if mid-March is prompt) Cornell. The pool of "undecided" schools was of a similar caliber mix as above, so it's hard to be mad at Brown for applying a common practice. Also, I can appreciate Jeff for explaining the situation for those who were just going off of hunches. Antagonizing him would be like killing the well-intended messenger.

A question for the friend who change from PhD in CS to Master in CS. Is it fully funded Master?

Asked (before 3/15 deadline) for my PhD app to be considered for masters after long time w/ no decision. 5 days after asking, was sent an email telling me to check portal. 2 papers, great LORs. Easily one of my top choices overall, so super-hyped. Good luck everybody!

E-mail said decision available on portal

TTPB: Congrats thats awesome!! Would you be willing to share which area you're in?

Unofficial acceptance from PI!!!

So thankful!

Still shocked!

An unofficial reply from POI via email.

Email from POI, official notification to follow.

Was told that 200 students out of 400 have already received admittance/rejection. 200 remaining students are competing for whatever spots are open after 4-15 deadline.
