Graduate School Admission Results

I don't know what colleges want anymore. Did everything I could. 1 Paper at international conference, 1 oral presentation award at national conference, 9.5 GPA, 116 TOEFL, good LORs and SOP, 3 internships, 2 other research experiences. Whatever, GaTech, and whatever to the other 10 schools that have turned me down so far.

Top IIT's, 6.6/10, 2 years as an RA in the same institute. 1A*, 1B

Hi everyone, congrats on your admits. I’m quite confused and I wanna decide on an admit and decline the rest asap. I would really appreciate your advice. I got into GaTech, UCSD and UMass MSCS. My background is Vision and ML and I have done a significant amount of research already at IIITH. I’m mostly not gonna do a PhD and wanna work in a good R&D role. I am currently inclined towards GaTech, I just wanted to make sure I’m not making a mistake because UCSD also seems really good. Thanks in advance!

Gatech mscs admits Did any of your status change from dept decision made to institute decision made?

This was my in a way my last hope. Got the mail to download my letter from the portal. Rejected! I had applied to 10 places and didn't get in anywhere. No idea what to do now. I have a publication in a reputed conference, and other paper still in cycle. I had recommendations from well-known people. I guess GPA matters a LOT. Mine was 3.36/4, basically flunked my first two years of school, and then last two years, I got A's in all my subjects. Still, the overall GPA seemed shitty. Does anyone else feel that this year was particularly tough for theory?

My story is exactly like you. High major GPA but low CGPA. Got rejections from 4 out of 8 universities now and no hopes for admission. But don't get disappointed now. Shit happens. I think lowering your expectations a little bit for the next year will help.

Accepted into the Online Masters of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS). They don't require GRE scores as of rn so the score is irrelevant. I did my undergrad in Biology with a minor in CS with a bunch of the core CS coursework (algorithms, data structures etc.) and I worked in a data/software engineering role in Biotech for a few years before I applied.

TOEFL: 106/120
