IGNORE WAITLIST. Requesting international people to please post their GPA on their original scale (like 8.5/10). Its hard to comprehend your GPA out of 4. Please everyone !

Had two research experiences, ~ 1 year for each. One paper is under review, but didn't mention it. Had several personal projects on GitHub. No intern.

CV / ML. Did interview only a few days before getting the offer

Rejected from MS CS program at UC Berkeley. 2+ years of undergraduate research experience at a large state school and 3 good LORs. Likely was rejected due to lack of publications and not being a great research fit. Expected this. Congratulations to everyone who gets in!

Applied for Hardware for efficient inference of nn algorithms. Undergrad in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering with minors in AI and CS. LMAO GPA. Best IIT. Reco letter from institute director. One publication in Computational Neuroscience @ top tier journal. Industry experience. Teaching experience. Experience mentoring interns in my 'failed' startup.

Super Ambitious

Email to check the portal, where I found a standard rejection letter. MSc from top uni in Europe with a good GPA, first-author publication at a top-tier venue, research internship experience, and SWE internship at a renowned tech company. Found out after applying that POI wasn't hiring this year, and I had no interview, so the rejection was expected

A piece of advice: Do NOT apply to Berkeley's MSCS unless you are dead certain that your portfolio stands out one in thousands. MS/PhD program usually has a much higher acceptance rate than MS only.

Graduating from an American college. 2 research opportunities. First one in computational physics (Paper in progress) and the second in machine learning (current). One internship as an app developer. Strong LOR's. No GRE. Hurts to start the season like this, certainly wasn't expecting. Was I missing something in my application? Or only people with actual work experience get in here?
