Computer Science, Stanford University - international applicant (Europe) - graduated in top 1% - thesis got published and awarded “best paper†- 3 LoRs, one from CEO of space company - founded startup that got acquired - internship at big tech company This is genuinely not to brag, but I did think I would be accepted. Am so curious about the reasoning of the committee, but unfortunately that will always be a black box. Sincere congratulations to everyone that got accepted, have a wonderful time at Stanford :)

Computer Science, Stanford University I'm in shock... I applied mainly to PhD programs this round, and this was my only MS application and also my only acceptance (!!). I'm applying straight from undergrad at Berkeley with an unconventional interdisciplinary CS-focused background. I thought that that would be a turn-off but I guess they liked it? I also got a TAship that covers tuition plus a $12,900/quarter salary. I had 4 significant research experiences throughout undergrad, 2 were in CS but not super technical and all were CS-adjacent. I had 1 first-author paper at an ACM conference which won Best Paper, and I had another one in preparation at the time of the application (currently have 4 in prep, 1 under review). Did not submit GRE.
