Graduate School Admission Results

International with undergrad from UBC

Did not submit the GRE. Undegrad + Master degree in Applied Maths from top French engineering school. Applied ML internship in a company, Research Internship in an European university. Decent LORs. No publication. Hesitate between this and Berkeley MA Statistics.

The decision was just posted to the portal! Didn't submit the GRE

internship experiences, decent LORs, no publication, research experience

Very strong LORs, no internship, top undergrad business school student planning to transition to data science

Undergraduate minor in DS; research background in machine learning and computational humanities.

Submitted application and references around Jan 25. Currently finishing my undergrad in engineering at Queen's University

A bit surprise it is not a straight rejection. 3.9+ GPA DS major from a small college. 2 relevant internships. No GRE nor publication

Ignore Waitlist. Has anyone heard back from Columbia University's M.S. in Data Science?

Officially waitlisted. Is there anyone here that had gotten an admit last year for Fall 2020 but reapplied for Fall 2021?

Ignore WL, I still haven't heard back from Columbia University. Is there anyone else who hasn't received admit results from Columbia?

Ignore WL. TTPB, same haha. I'd have easily picked this program over the others I got into but at this point I'm planning to head to CMU MISM-BIDA if they don't let me know in another few days. Funnily, I was waitlisted for Columbia DS last year and my application is much better this year, so it kinda sucks that I haven't even been put on a waitlist yet.Also, I've been waitlisted at NYU lol so it's pretty sucky to narrowly miss acceptances at both schools. It is my fault though. I attended a very good engineering undergrad program(top 3), but my grades are simply not up to par in the important courses(A mixture of B's and B+'s and a few A-'s). Now I kinda wish I'd attended a less prestigious undergrad program and gotten straight A's there- seems like people who did well in less prestigious undergrad schools are getting in pretty easily.

To Mr/Mrs. 9.3/6 . I'm guessing you're from India since you rated your GPA out of a 10 point scale and had to write the IELTS. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Admissions committees in the US, especially in professional, non-thesis programs really do not care about how high your GPA is as long as your grades are good enough to inspire confidence that you can succeed in their program. It's great that you worked hard and achieved academic success, but being condescending to people who were admitted(because their applications were clearly better than yours) is very childish. I know that this condescension is especially a problem in India because people with 9+ cgpas feel entitled to acceptances from the best colleges in the world. You probably fell short on your essay, research or extracurriculars or they probably felt that your overall profile wasn't a good fit for them. Take your bitterness and turn it into something productive. You literally got into NYU and CMU, I don't understand why you feel the need to be so damn negative.
