Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University Rejected from the MS CS program. I have an undergraduate degree in CS from a large state school. I have 2 years of undergraduate research experience. Decent SOP and 3 good LORs from faculty members I worked with. Likely was rejected due to having only one publication as well as not being a great fit with potential advisors. Congratulations to everyone who got in!

Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University MSAII. “We received a very large number of applications this year, which made the admissions decision very difficult. With only 32 spaces open in the entering class, we were forced to reject numerous applicants who were qualified for the program, as the overall applicant pool was very strong. If you applied to other programs at Carnegie Mellon, you will receive a response from each one.â€

Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University Tier-2 Undergrad: GPA - 9.64/10, Rank 3/250+ GRE: 337 TOEFL: 117 Work ex: 12 months Full-time + 6 months internship as an SDE at a startup, 2 months internship at a Tier-1 college Research ex: 1 year in NLP under a professor in my undergrad. But no publications. Also some independent research experience for a few months. Couple of relevant projects. I would rate my SOP as strong. But this reject makes me question that. I presume my LORs were strong as well because both the academic LORs came from Professors who supervised me directly. My 3rd LOR was an industry one which was also strong because of my performance at my company. Applied for a concentration in Systems.
