Graduate School Admission Results

EECS MEng program, 3.8 undergrad GPA, 2 internships

No GRE, master's GPA 3.9, some publications. Interviewed multiple times with different professors. Followed up via emails but received no responses. Initial notification came from the CS department; official notice followed a week later from the school. Fortunately, I had a great offer elsewhere and would have almost certainly turned down the UO offer if it had been extended. However, the lack of communication throughout the process left a negative impression. It also seemed they were interested in admitting me but couldn't proceed due to funding issues this year. FYI, this year for those accepted, TA 0.45 (?) will be offered with stipends around $2,600.

Masters GPA 4/4. NLP field. No interview. two publications. Received rejection directly from the department. Will receive official rejection next week.

MENG

"The selection committee considers your academic background not closely enough related to the master programme applied for" - hate this rejection reason, especially when I have a 4 year CS degree, but I guess the ECTS conversion messed things up - bachelor's from an Indian uni in CS and Math, top 350 in QS, GPA 9.5/10, Rank 2/50; summer internship at a Canadian uni, bachelor's thesis at CERN + American ivy, working as a research engineer full-time (since the past 6 months) at a London uni (top 10 QS); a lot of practical experience in programming languages and HPC (maintaining open-source software, 2-3 software papers and conference proceedings, internships, work ex); strong SOP, strong LORs -- rejected from the scholarship naturally.

Masters GPA 4/4. NLP field. No interview. two publications.

Originally applied for a PhD. Got rejected, but the admission committee recommended me for the Master program. Did not receive the official offer letter yet.
