Graduate School Admission Results

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.

Get ready for the pain train and the trail of red. Lel

I guess Stanford is planning to reject us all next week after the weekend huh. Those bastards. Just give me a quick death.

TTPB: I received it at 12:50 pm PDT

congrats to those admitted. What time did you receive the notifications?

A ton of research experience and papers at top conferences (1 first author, 3 other papers). Perfect GPA at Top-5 CS school. Great SOP and Rec Letters (professors with whom I conducted research). No extracurriculars really. FAANG internship.

TTPB: To the poster below who wanted to tear someone down for being admitted -- I know rejection hurts and you may feel bitter/jealous at someone else's success, but it's not healthy for you nor for others. I hope you feel better, don't let Stanford's admission/reject define your success as an individual, and also don't let Stanford's admission of someone give you cause to put them down. Just my 2c. To those who were admitted: congrats! And best of luck on your studies and career :)

B.S. in CS from Top-5 CS school. Near perfect GPA. 1 year of research experience at a research institute, and 1.5 years at two research groups each. No publications, but a solid senior thesis. 2x internships at a FAANG and 1x at a unicorn.

TTPB (who was rejected today): Did you receive an email notification? If so, when?

Not WL. If they release the admits all at once, then I guess can only be reject if you haven't heard anything.

TTPB who is being a complete hater: it's interesting that the minority individual who got accepted listed all of their rad accomplishments, but the only thing that you focused on is the fact that they are part of a minority group. Maybe your small-minded thinking played a role in your rejection.

Rejected, heard that the class size is less than half due to covid deferrals. TTPB stop hating on people because they're an underrepresented minority. Work harder and try to become a better person

Same as the person who shared 'copy-paste email from EECS admission chair saying I've been waitlisted along with ~50 others across EECS subareas. EECS apply portal is still blank.' I wonder when they will send out the final results. It says in the email that they will do it in March, but still they initially claimed results would be out in early March...

No publications, but research project experience. Top 10 CS program, 6 internships, LoR from a well-known professor in deep learning, a top-level engineer who was my mentor at an internship, and a non-CS PhD candidate who instructed one of my courses. TA for a graduate level ML course for 4 semesters, leadership positions in student government and a cultural club. 90th percentile GRE quant, 92nd percentile GRE verbal. Several scholarships during undergrad. Not sure how much this matters, but I am a member of an underrepresented minority group.

Human-Computer Interaction track. Non-CS undergrad (Economics) from an average institution. 3.6 GPA. Average GRE quant score; above average GRE verbal score. 5 years full-time work experience as a Software Engineer at Disney, Amazon and PayPal. Strong letters of rec from tech execs at well-known companies (1 CTO, 1 Tech SVP and 1 Engineering Manager).

Received the email around 1:00 PM. Applied previously but didn't get in -- today feels like a dream. Multiple years of work experience at a FAANG, undergrad in Canada.

Super excited, it´s now between UT Austin, CMU and hopefully Stanford as well
