Data Science Graduate School Admission Results

BSc Math from ETHZ, GPA 5.5/6

BSc CS student from ETH Zürich. GPA > 5.5, two strong LOR, one paper which was published at a major conference.

Stoked! I am from a less well-known Canadian university (ranking 10+ in Canada). CGPA 3.94 standing top 5% I guess. Two years' research experience in machine learning and published two workshop papers.

Interviewed in late January by three professors. Completely technical and detailed: they do not even let you introduce yourself. I am ashamed to say that I did not spend too much time preparing. Just make sure you understand every piece of your CV you will be fine. For example, if you mentioned Logistic regression model, what's the output? what does the coefficient mean? how do you interpret the result?...

Undergraduate degree from a mediocre Dutch university. Top of my cohort at both my current programme and the previous one. 1.5 years of research experience at non-FAANG company.

European student studying BSc Mathematics at a top 3-4 UK uni. Within top 5% of class, research experience in statistical learning during the summers but no publications. No GRE. I didn't think I would be accepted because my background is not CS, it was such a happy surprise! Good luck to everyone else!

Received a waitlist email.

Undergrad in Computer Science from an Italian university. Good LoRs I think, and was considered the best student among those enrolled in my year.
