Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

3 pubs, 1 first author. Area: CV/Graphics. Strong LORs but admissions really are a game of chance

4.0 undergrad GPA, GRE 165/170/5.0 (Q/V/AW). Area: ML. Several publications but mostly in applied venues. Got into two other top 10-ish schools though so I'm happy. Question: I see "generic rejection email" mentioned on here a lot. Is there ever a non-generic rejection email? They all say the same thing—due to the high number of applications/COVID, we had to reject many qualified applicants, best future wishes, blah blah. Can you actually infer anything from these messages about how close you were?

Fook them. I have an offer from Citadel for 500k a year. No one cares.

The nicest rejection I got. Will definitely reapply next cycle :)) Love you Cornell -- even if you don't love me back

I already have a nice offer from a decent school but this really sucks. Cornell was my top choice and I always dreamt of coming here.

Bit of a strange rejection letter lol

BS in Electronics and Telecommunication, GPA: 3.0; MS in Electrical, GPA: 4.0; 3 papers and 3 submitted. Area of interest: autonomous systems, computer vision.

Rejected with two publications, 3.9 GPA, 170/165 GRE

TTPB: Also applied to the master's program here. Haven't heard anything yet or seen any other master's acceptances.

I wasn't contacted or interviewed by my POI. Research lab -- IIITH

Deciding between Cornell Tech MEng CS and this one is going to be incredibly tough. I have about 2 weeks to accept one and turn down the other.

Interviewed last week of February. Decision arrived a week later. I wasn't sure about my odds because I'm in my mid 30s, yet I have 7 years of work exp. as I cofounded a 40 person tech startup in Mexico when I was 28 y/o and I was in the top 5% of my undergrad at ITESM Monterrey. I'm very excited, there are not many people who study CS at a top institution in the US or CAN, I can't believe the number of excellent students from Asia that apply for the most competitive programs. I was also accepted at Imperial College London but most prob. I will take UofT. For those of you above 30 y/o reading this, if you wanna apply don't hesitate.

TTPB: To the one talking about PhD rejections probably coming in, I have applied for the master's program. Are the master's program acceptances already out? Cause I didn't see a single post about masters students getting accepted till now. You may be correct about PhD, but are you sure about masters program too?

TTPB: I am applying for CS Ph.D., but I had the same situation as yours. I haven't been accepted or rejected yet.

TTPB: Same for the Ph.D. results. I guess the rejections will be given since the acceptance was done already. It is mostly a sign that the decision has been notified to graduate school from the department.

To the Michigan CS Master's admits: are your admits for the MSE or MS program? When did you folks apply?

Undergrad from top 5 UK uni with several FAANG internships and 1 research publication
