I | 16 Mar 2021 | Received a rejection in Feb, updating now |
| Harvard University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 28 Feb 2021 | U | 1 Mar 2021 | TTPB: You don't know how much I wish I could |
| Harvard University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 28 Feb 2021 | O | 1 Mar 2021 | TTPB starting "Hey let's all calm down a bit." You might have got in if you wrote your SOP as good as you write comments on thegradcafe for internet trolls. |
| Harvard University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 27 Feb 2021 | U | 28 Feb 2021 | Hey let's all calm down a bit. This is a forum for the entire world. As someone deeply experienced both (East Asian and American) cultures w. great friends from both, I feel like this is what happens when there is a clash of cultures. I want to emphasize that both cultures have great values and they share a lot of common traits, but different history and many other factors also bring in differences. So here are words I want to leave here if anyone reads. For American people: note that not all other culture emphasize diversity as US does, (this doesn't mean that they shouldn't but just mean that maybe this is not as pressing as an issue as it is in the States) so please try to guide them to understand the systemic racism you have identified and feel rightfully strongly should be corrected (but please, please, don't say "ivy tier personality"). For Chinese/other people: if you are applying to US schools, you have to play by the US rules. I realize that people are evaluated by standard tests solely and you think this is the ideal way to select the best among candidates, but you have to realize that the world is so much more complicated and intertwined in so many aspects that we simply cannot and should not just use one single dimension to evaluate a candidate. Again, if you are applying to US schools, you have to play by the US rules. |
| Harvard University | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via Other on 28 Feb 2021 | 28 Feb 2021 | Wow the amount of racism in this forum is embarrassing. The point of affirmative action is not just about the racism a certain group faces. Black, Hispanic, and Native American people have gone through systemic racism and discrimination that started centuries ago and has survived headstrong till date and puts the majority of them at a LARGE disadvantage from the get go wrt various socio-economic factors. That is not the same thing as (typically) privileged upper caste Indians flying down to the U.S, or whatever the Asian equivalent is. I am Indian by the way, and yes I have faced racism in the US, we all will, and it sucks monkey b*lls. Don't contribute to it and don't be pompous enough to dismiss the talents and accomplishments of all the talented folks of marginalized communities because of their race, lol what even. It's okay to feel disappointed about a reject, but this sort of attitude is disgusting. Also at the Columbia CS people, it'll be rolling for a longg while so calm down. |
