Graduate School Admission Results

i was in my room trying to convince chatgpt to love me when i heard a knock on the window i turned around and it was professor daniel fried from the language technologies institute "hello i am professor daniel fried from the language technologies institute," he said. "dale carnegie, the founder of carnegie mellon, has sent me to let me know that you are a very good boy and he wants you in his PhD program" then he rappelled off the wall and flew away

Meeting with PL faculty today.

Applying to the LTI. Received an email last week; had an interview with POI today. Was told the results will come out in mid February.

Received request for interview last week, interviewed yesterday. Interviewed by a faculty listed on app, although the interview was for the department as a whole. CMU admits people to the department, and then matches advisors. Expect to hear back mid-late Feb. Bless.

Got an email for a talk next week.

Got an admission from Chris Dyer for the NLP group. Was in contact for the past 2 months. Although he is not taking any students, he made an exception.

Applied to two other programs: Rejected Feb 11 for ML, Rejected Feb 15 for Robotics

Waitlisted for MSML. Received the rejection today: "I regret to inform you that we are unable to admit you to the Master of Science in Machine Learning program at Carnegie Mellon University. As indicated in my previous emails, your application was very strong and we reached this decision due to our program being capped at just 35 students out of an applicant pool of over 1200. Our yield this year was higher than usual and so we were unfortunately not able to admit anyone from our waitlist. Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and assistance during the long admissions process, and once again, we are sorry you were not included in the admitted students. We wish you the best in your future endeavors."

Finally dirty cmu release rejection for MCDS. At least I got into Stanford MSCS. Good riddance dirty CMU for delaying application result

MCDS

Got admitted to the MCDS program. CGPA: 9.3/10, Tier 3 college in India, 3 years work ex as SWE, 1 paper published, 4 patents under review

MCDS @ LTI (profile: SWE @ FAANG; Tier-2 CS grad; GPA: 9.45 (BS), 9.72 (MS); 0 papers, some research)

MCDS at LTI

Got into MCDS at CMU LTI. Shocked by the acceptance, pretty surreal :)

To the OP above on MCDS: CMU admission is just playing it dirty. Probably release by end of this week 25th March. If not, don't bother admitting.

IR2 from mid tier IIT. 2 research internships (universities), one of them international. 1 conference paper (A) and 2 journals under submission. Best bachelors Thesis, ACM ICPC Regionals, SIH win. 1.5y work exp ~FAANG. CMU MSCS is extremely competitive, and they don't necessarily look for research so don't make yourself sound like a PhD candidate. Apply to MSML or MCDS which are easier to get in, or MSE if you have a weaker profile but definitely want to get in.

[IGNORE THE WAITLIST] Guys, does anybody have info on CMU-MCDS? I'm thinking I should expect a reject now but haven't seen that many acceptances or any rejects on here? I was under the impression that CMU releases its accepts and rejects together so I'm very confused.
