6/286 ranking student from top1 uni in Turkey. Good recommendations, nearly a year of research experience, 3 internship experiences, one hackathon win, work experience at an international startup as an AI engineer, and an Erasmus semester at a German university. Also mailed an ETH PhD student and started researching with him 2 months before the decision.

From KIT in Germany. 1.2 GPA (top 3%), no research experience, only one internship at a large company in germany. Okay LOR and SOP (Do not have any comaprison).

Accepted to direct doctorate program and will be taking the offer. Bachelor's from top 1 CS school in the US. I have two publications, one in a top conference in the field, and I believe good matching to my advisor and their research area led to my acceptance. Interviewed early February.

From a German university, but not a highly ranked one like TUM or KIT (QS around 450). TOEFL 106. Two letters of recommendation—one might be strong, but I’m not sure what "strong" means in this context. Research experience includes a research internship at MPI, one year as a TA, and one year working at a research institution. Started working in a lab this fall. My Statement of Purpose might have been good, but I have no real benchmark for comparison. Honestly, I didn’t expect to get in, especially after reading the rejections here. My grades are generally strong, but my transcript isn’t perfect—there’s a small note, more of a detail, that I thought might get me rejected. My worst grades (2.0 and 1.7) are in math-related subjects, so I was worried that might hurt my chances. Still a bit surprised, but I’m excited for the opportunity and will do my best!
