Graduate School Admission Results

Tough Luck. Hep-th.

TTPB: Did you really get waitlisted? I have not received any news and in the portal my status is still "In Review".

Declined my offer because I got into my #1 choice program at McGill. Goodluck to everyone!

Anyone still waiting for the decision? I haven't heard anything from the department. I assume I got waitlisted.

Tough year.

First off, this year they had to review nearly 2000 applicants and therefore, from my perspective, it's nearly impossible for them to review each and every candidate (Due to showing 'submitted' on majority of candidate's status). Secondly, the students who got in have been in touch with one/two Profs and after an interview, they may / may be not get into the program. So from my standpoint, this year is going to be a mass rejection in this department!! Because, a lot of students from last year have "DEFERRED" their 2020 admission to 2021!!!

Undergrad in other university in Quebec, 2 research internships including one in ML.

non-thesis option mcgill undergrad

5 international papers - 2 A* conferences in CV/DL 1 patent , Research internships at Corporate, Startup and Academic institutes, 1.5 years work experience as ML engineer, Strong LORs and good SOP, Nothing helped! :( Congratulations to the ones who got it! All the best for the ones still waiting.

James Mcgill doesn't freaking care about those applicants, for he used a single day turning submitted to rejected. Not much better than U of A.

McGill CS undergrad. GPA 4.0/4.0. No research experience.

Was kind of expecting it because of my unimpressive GPA and GRE. No papers published, zero years of experience

1 year full-time research experience. 2 AAAI, 1 ICLR and 1 Springer Nature papers. 1 in review at TPAMI and 1 in review at ICCV. Strong LoRs from Google Brain and Institute Chair Prof at IIT-Bombay. 1 AI startup internship, 2 research internships at top-tier labs, 2xGSoC in AI/ML. Strong research fit with profs and several National Awards. Well, it counted for nought. Congratulations to those who made it!

Bachelor's from Pakistan. 2 research internships (1 in germany and 1 in Pakistan). 1.5 years of research oriented work experience in Machine Learning.

I don't really think they reviewed the majority of applications! High GPA + Research Experience + Great academic background, I got an offer from U Waterloo CS but got rejected from McGill. How ridiculous.

Those who got into ms in CS thesis this year in McGill ,you will win the next nobel prize or Turing award for sure.
