Graduate School Admission Results

[NOT INTERVIEW, just can't find the option "other"] Received an email notification from UBCO - "Your application for Master of Data Science at UBC's Okanagan Campus is currently under review by the program. Once the review process is complete, you will receive a decision on your application file. Please ensure that all official test scores have been submitted to the College of Graduate Studies."

Officially waitlisted. Is there anyone here that had gotten an admit last year for Fall 2020 but reapplied for Fall 2021?

OFFICIAL Waitlisted for Data Science MS

I've seen only rejects and waitlists coming in every weekend. Does it make sense to hope for an admit anymore? There hasn't been any for the past 2-3 weeks.

ttpb：same here. still waiting for my decision to come out.... but i think at this point, all the leftovers are gonna be rejected or waitlisted :(

TTPB: To the people who have been accepted, can you please let me know when the deadline to submit your acceptance decision was?

To Mr/Mrs. 9.3/6 . I'm guessing you're from India since you rated your GPA out of a 10 point scale and had to write the IELTS. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Admissions committees in the US, especially in professional, non-thesis programs really do not care about how high your GPA is as long as your grades are good enough to inspire confidence that you can succeed in their program. It's great that you worked hard and achieved academic success, but being condescending to people who were admitted(because their applications were clearly better than yours) is very childish. I know that this condescension is especially a problem in India because people with 9 cgpas feel entitled to acceptances from the best colleges in the world. You probably fell short on your essay, research or extracurriculars or they probably felt that your overall profile wasn't a good fit for them. Take your bitterness and turn it into something productive. You literally got into NYU and CMU, I don't understand why you feel the need to be so damn negative.

Ignore WL. TTPB, same haha. I'd have easily picked this program over the others I got into but at this point I'm planning to head to CMU MISM-BIDA if they don't let me know in another few days. Funnily, I was waitlisted for Columbia DS last year and my application is much better this year, so it kinda sucks that I haven't even been put on a waitlist yet.Also, I've been waitlisted at NYU lol so it's pretty sucky to narrowly miss acceptances at both schools. It is my fault though. I attended a very good engineering undergrad program(top 3), but my grades are simply not up to par in the important courses(A mixture of B's and B+'s and a few A-'s). Now I kinda wish I'd attended a less prestigious undergrad program and gotten straight A's there- seems like people who did well in less prestigious undergrad schools are getting in pretty easily.

Ignore WL, I still haven't heard back from Columbia University. Is there anyone else who hasn't received admit results from Columbia?

9.3/6 here. Columbia is not my first reject lo I do have 2 acceptances one from CMU and one from NYU, point was some of the the profiles that got accepted where subpar than some candidates who applied, that is a fact and there is nothing that cannot change it. And besides something to note: knowing ones self worth is a virtue. I do not claim anyone's achievement is without hard work or credit but it simply is not unto others levels, based one what I have talked to with other applicants. I do not blame the ones who got admitted but I do feel that the admission procedure is not selective as it claims. Nevertheless, People who sermonized me I don't give a flying F, I have a life ahead that will be just as fruitful if not more. Ciao. lol cant even believe I'm responding to trolls.

I'm utterly devastated. Graduated Summa Cum Laude at a top 50 state school with a math degree and got a perfect GRE score. This was my dream school and it didn't happen. I thought I'd be an admit for sure, I thought I was a strong applicant compared to the applicant pool. I have no clue what system Columbia used for admissions this time around. Really hope it didn't come down to a lottery system Congrats to all the admits

(Ignore wait list) TTPB who said they're "not bitter" and has a 9+ GPA. Your personality is trash and you need to learn how to take rejections like an adult. Just because you didn't get in doesn't mean others who did are not worthy. Get off your high pony, like for real. It would really suck to work in a team setting with your personality and mentality so those who got in should breathe a huge sigh of relief.
