Previously in their website, they said the majority of the decision will be out at the end of April. In April 29th, they removed that statement from the website. Anyone knows when is USC planning to release the decision because I am now mentally exhausted

I'm utterly devastated. Graduated Summa Cum Laude at a top 50 state school with a math degree and got a perfect GRE score. This was my dream school and it didn't happen. I thought I'd be an admit for sure, I thought I was a strong applicant compared to the applicant pool. I have no clue what system Columbia used for admissions this time around. Really hope it didn't come down to a lottery system Congrats to all the admits

(Ignore wait list) TTPB who said they're "not bitter" and has a 9+ GPA. Your personality is trash and you need to learn how to take rejections like an adult. Just because you didn't get in doesn't mean others who did are not worthy. Get off your high pony, like for real. It would really suck to work in a team setting with your personality and mentality so those who got in should breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Ignore Waitlist: I still haven't hear back from columbia but TTPB sorry you had to deal with such a scumbag. I'm glad Columbia managed to filter such human garbage out. You deserve getting in and should feel proud. I never met you but Im so proud of you! Ignore the haters🤓

Well... It is what it is. 2 AAAI, 1 ICLR and 1 Springer Nature paper. 1 in review at TPAMI and 1 in review at ICCV. Strong LoRs from Google Brain and Institute Chair Prof at IIT-Bombay. 1 year full-time research exp at IISc, 1 AI startup internship, 2 research internships at top-tier labs, 2xGSoC in AI/ML. Strong research fit with profs and several National Awards. I guess I must have worked harder. The 2021 cohort is more competitive than I expected. Congratulations to those who made it!

Generic Rejection. Its raining rejects....All the best for those who got in and to others who didn't get through- just think that there is a bigger oppurtunity awaiting you in the future.

NOT WAITLIST: I still haven't gotten any email... :( Should I assume I am a waitlist?

Let me be very clear, entire process was disappointing and painful. The Uni made us wait for more than 4 months, to give rejections. The admits given are such shit profiles that their linkdin posts of their "journey and struggle to reach Columbia" are cringeworthy. And I'am pretty sure most admits are wondering how on earth did I get an admit lol. Anyways learned my lesson that merit is not the commodity valued for admissions. At least in Columbia lol. Oh also this is not the post of a bitter reject, but a reject who realized that merit and academic accolades do not matter. CGPA-9.3/6 months research experience in Computation, 3 publications, 1 conference, IELTS 8.0, GRE-322, 1 year work experience. Diploma in DS.

any groups?

adding to the streak of red 0 admits...

Looks like I am going to Penn.

Rough day. Congrats to everyone who got in, and hope everyone who got cut is doing alright. A rejection isn't a reflection of your self-worth (something I know I struggle with sometimes), and it's clear that the University had a buttload of overqualified candidates. All the best to everyone.

Tragic. This was my top choice. Wish I got in, probably going to NYU now.

I thought that the situation might change with high chances of deferments from India for Fall 21 cycle. Anyway, I already accepted another great university but heartbroken ... uggghhhhh

Asian Male. Graduating salutatorian, won mathematics awards, high GPA, hold executive positions on multiple campus extracurriculars but submitted without GRE. Absolutely heartbreaking as I submitted early and crafted my essay about how it was the only school that I'm applying to since it was my dream school. I spent 4 years in college to build up to this moment. I guess I have to work harder.

Received email to check the website, accepted another offer anyway, good luck to those still waiting!

As said the result is out at the end of April. I have just received mime and it was as expected :(
