"The selection committee considers your academic background not closely enough related to the master programme applied for" - hate this rejection reason, especially when I have a 4 year CS degree, but I guess the ECTS conversion messed things up - bachelor's from an Indian uni in CS and Math, top 350 in QS, GPA 9.5/10, Rank 2/50; summer internship at a Canadian uni, bachelor's thesis at CERN + American ivy, working as a research engineer full-time (since the past 6 months) at a London uni (top 10 QS); a lot of practical experience in programming languages and HPC (maintaining open-source software, 2-3 software papers and conference proceedings, internships, work ex); strong SOP, strong LORs -- rejected from the scholarship naturally.

They would like to consider me for computer engineering instead which is not what i wanted, but no worries. :)

Not surprise cuz no interview is given to me.

Masters GPA 4/4. NLP field. No interview. two publications.

School of IC. A little bit of surprise because I have my own funding through an external fellowship.
