| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science (ML), Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 17 Feb 2021 | 17 Feb 2021 | TTPB to the post on 12th Feb : I had contacted them in the first week of Feb and was told the MS ML results won't be out in the 1st-2nd week of Feb. Could be anytime now till end of Feb. Was really betting it to be this Monday and here we are on a Wednesday. So, I don't know, I hope it's soon. | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 16 Feb 2021 | 16 Feb 2021 | HCII, did they even take any students? I have not seen anyone get accepted yet | |

| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 16 Feb 2021 | A | 16 Feb 2021 | I’m sorry to inform you that you have not been admitted to the Ph.D. Program in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon. Although it sounds like a cliché, the truth is that we have been faced with very difficult decisions this year because we simply have many more highly qualified candidates than we are able to admit. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our program. We hope that you are able to pursue your HCI research interests in another way, and perhaps we will be able to see your future contributions to the field, even if you were not able to make them starting from our program. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | HCII (Computer Science), PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 16 Feb 2021 | A | 16 Feb 2021 | 3.91/4.00, Top 5 University, 2 second author publications. No GRE. 1 Strong LOR 2 decent. Applied for Human Factors of Security. Haven't heard from CSD yet, so keeping hope alive. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 16 Feb 2021 | A | 16 Feb 2021 | Waitlisted for ISR Societal Computing. Not sure what chances are but probably not great. |

| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 16 Feb 2021 | O | 16 Feb 2021 | When tf will MS CS results be out, the wait is killing. xD |
| Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) - Robotics Institute | Computer Science, Masters (F21) | Other via Other on 16 Feb 2021 | O | 16 Feb 2021 | When I try to log into the portal, it says the portal is offline. Wondering if other people have encountered the same issue? |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 16 Feb 2021 | 16 Feb 2021 | ML theory, 3.7 GPA, 2 publications under review | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science (MLD), PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 16 Feb 2021 | U | 15 Feb 2021 | 11:24 AM. 1000 applicants. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Other via Other on 15 Feb 2021 | O | 15 Feb 2021 | Can someone post the discord invite link for the CS discord, or direct me where to find the link? Thanks |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 15 Feb 2021 Undergrad GPA: 9.50 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/170/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
I | 15 Feb 2021 | 3 Publications in A* ML confs. Intern at FAAMG. Undergrad from tier 1 university in India. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Other via Other on 15 Feb 2021 | 15 Feb 2021 | TTPB: Compare to the people who get into these schools? At least this year your profile 'is' average (not the whole pool but the pool that got accepted). There are so many applicants with more than 3+ publications in top conferences, whether that is a good phenomenon I don't know but it is what it is at the current stage. I know one person who got into Stanford has 5 publications in Neurips, ICML, and ICRL... don't even know why that person even needs a Ph.D. | |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 15 Feb 2021 | U | 15 Feb 2021 | TTPB. I think I would be the best judge for my profile, in MY field and trust me I have enough indicators from other good schools for the same. Although I didn't mention that this is one of the top profile, but I would certain not call it average. Even if it is average, how does that justify a professor willing to take you on but can't because of the strong hold of a committee who is infamous for their weird criteria of rejection. I have also heard that the dropout rate for CMU is very high. This definitely makes me wonder that the randomness factor is extremely high for CMU. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 15 Feb 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.97 GRE General (V/Q/W): 166/169/5.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
A | 15 Feb 2021 | Applied to ML and LTI. Interviewed by profs in LTI mid Jan (thought it went well—they were definitely nice). Rejected by LTI a few days ago and ML today. 3.97gpa dual degree math and CS in top 20 US university. GRE 169Q, 166V, 5.0A. Research, papers, posters, Google/Microsoft internships, national research scholarships. What can I say—crazy year for AI/ML admissions. Congrats to those who got in and good luck to the rest to find a good fit somewhere else. |
| Carnegie Mellon University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Other via Other on 15 Feb 2021 | 15 Feb 2021 | TTPB: Dude, honestly with the current situation of AI/ML your profile is average in the pool (good in other fields). So don't bash CMU, from what I know CMU is one of the few top schools that actually even give students with fewer publications a chance and read your SOP closely while Stanford just weeds out based on your profile. Don't really know about MIT... |
