| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 23 Feb 2021 | O | 23 Feb 2021 | TTPB: I am the one who started this discussion (about not blaming the defferals). To be perfectly clear I have no connections in CMU, I know nobody in the department I applied to, I have not had contact with anyone related to my specific field. CMU has a ton of CS graduate programs and I spoke to people I am familiar with in totally unrelated programs. This isn't because your lack of connections nor defferals. Graduate admissions are a crapshoot, I got accepted to CMU.. but rejected to a totally inferior school. Stop acting like the world owes you something, and given the admissions that you mentioned you should be in cloud nine. Very few get into every school they apply to, that does not mean that the schools that reject you are rigged against you. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 23 Feb 2021 | U | 23 Feb 2021 | Does anyone know what’s going on with MSML and MCDS? Any estimate when they will be out? |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Interview via E-mail on 23 Feb 2021 | O | 23 Feb 2021 | TTPB: While I agree with the person below about how connections matter and also about the second option of paying your way into a PhD by doing a masters at top 5-10 CS schools, I don't see connections playing a factor in the process being unique to CMU and not every school. fu** it, not even grad schools, industry is the exact same: connections and your network matter. I would say that most people realize that after a couple years in industry but for those applying to grad schools right out of undergrad, they get to experience earlier than their peers who went to work instead of grad school. And cause of ML/AI hype, the number of applicants is so much that a person who would have been a star candidate 5-10 years ago does not get accepted this cycle or even interviewed. and to the post further below about deferrals, from every school I have interviewed with, the idea that everyone isn't getting cause of people deferring is bullsh**. You just have to come terms with the fact that ML hype has made CS exponential crowded and instead of 1-2 extremely overqualified applicants (ie: 4+ NIPS/ICLR/ICML papers), you now have 20-30 of these applicants resulting into the minimum bar to get in increase dramatically. Really the only question left to see is that if this cycle was a 1 time thing or is the bar just going to exponentially increase. Here's to hoping for AI winter #3... |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 23 Feb 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.59 GRE General (V/Q/W): 159/165/4.50 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
I | 23 Feb 2021 | Applied for the MIIS program on the November 19th deadline. Got a reject today via e-mail at 3 AM IST. 1 paper submitted to an international conference which was rejected and work-ex of almost 2 years at a top MNC. Average GPA and GRE. Does anyone know why the decisions for rejects came in so late? |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Interview via Other on 23 Feb 2021 | O | 23 Feb 2021 | Stop blaming deferrals for not getting accepted. I have spoken to people at CMU and in the departments I checked, the deferrals were minimal.. and they added spaces to make the impact minimal. CMU is on par with Stanford and MIT when it comes to cs so it is highly selective. Almost none are that good that they have a 100% shot with CMU, and sorry to say it, you are most likely not one of them. Stay humble and recognize that you just did not get in, don't spoil it for others, and don't blame the school for the fact that you didn't get into one of the best CS graduate programs on the planet |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 23 Feb 2021 | I | 23 Feb 2021 | MIIS reject. Why didn't they tell us of the effect of deferrals, No GRE has been a way of looting money like hell & playing with candidate's feelings, same happening with every university, bloody cash cows, expecting the same thing from MCDS results. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 23 Feb 2021 | 23 Feb 2021 | CMU MS ML really be like we will give out the results in Feb and don't until now. CMU peeps please give a date instead of a "couple of days"! | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Interview via Other on 23 Feb 2021 | U | 23 Feb 2021 | Does anyone know when will CMU CS PhD release the results? Thanks! |

A | 22 Feb 2021 | Rejection email is pretty much verbatim with last year's. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, MIIS, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 22 Feb 2021 | I | 22 Feb 2021 | Rejected. 2 International Papers, 2 International Awards, 3 internships, 2 research internships, 1 startup, 1 year work-ex, GPA-3.88. Congrats to all those who got in! |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via POST on 22 Feb 2021 | A | 22 Feb 2021 | TTPB: Functions are the morphisms in the category of sets, while values are only instances of an abstract concept, first introduced by David Hume's Enquiry in 1748 . Satisfied? |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 22 Feb 2021 | O | 22 Feb 2021 | Verification for the CMU undergrad :) Functions are values vs. Functions are ____ ? |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 22 Feb 2021 | 22 Feb 2021 | TTPB: MSML person, not to be trusted. It will still take some days - the same CMU undergrad here | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 22 Feb 2021 | 22 Feb 2021 | TTPB: Exactly. To the one who sai they will be out today, What is your source ? Dont play with people's feelings | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 22 Feb 2021 | 22 Feb 2021 | MSML will be out today! | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 22 Feb 2021 | 22 Feb 2021 | What day of the week will MS ML results come? | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via E-mail on 21 Feb 2021 | 21 Feb 2021 | MCDS first admits will be out later this week per convo with professor | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Other via Other on 21 Feb 2021 | O | 21 Feb 2021 | Has anyone heard from the CS Neural Basis of Cognition program? I've gotten nothing but radio silence. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 20 Feb 2021 | I | 21 Feb 2021 | MIIS program |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 21 Feb 2021 | 21 Feb 2021 | I would really cry if cmu rejects me, this is so depressing | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 21 Feb 2021 | I | 21 Feb 2021 | I agree with the below post that they should have mention the deferrals. If they have a few seats, applicants should have known it because we spend money for these applications. UC Berkeley and UW also did the same thing, they didn't mention about the deferrals and now majority of the applications got rejection. I hope this will not be the case for CMU. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 21 Feb 2021 | 21 Feb 2021 | TTPB : Thanks! I did not know there were many deferals for ML. Thanks for the heads up. The website of the department had no explicit mention about it. Just saying, they should have mentioned these many deferals are already given to these many students.... | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Other via Other on 21 Feb 2021 | O | 21 Feb 2021 | All CSD offers are out? If I haven't heard anything, does it mean a rejection? |
