"no Mila-affiliated faculty member has expressed interest in your application for supervision"... WHATEVER

No contact from any profs, no application on the portal; Just an email saying "no Mila-affiliated faculty member has expressed interest in your application for supervision at this time"

Québec resident. Received an email that no Mila-affiliated faculty member has expressed interest in my application -- two McGill and one UdeM professor.

From KIT in Germany. 1.2 GPA (top 3%), no research experience, only one internship at a large company in germany. Okay LOR and SOP (Do not have any comaprison).

Applied on 1/15/2025. 15k scholarship

1 Internship, 2 years research presented at intl. conference, 2 letters of rec from same University

Accepted to direct doctorate program and will be taking the offer. Bachelor's from top 1 CS school in the US. I have two publications, one in a top conference in the field, and I believe good matching to my advisor and their research area led to my acceptance. Interviewed early February.

From a German university, but not a highly ranked one like TUM or KIT (QS around 450). TOEFL 106. Two letters of recommendation—one might be strong, but I’m not sure what "strong" means in this context. Research experience includes a research internship at MPI, one year as a TA, and one year working at a research institution. Started working in a lab this fall. My Statement of Purpose might have been good, but I have no real benchmark for comparison. Honestly, I didn’t expect to get in, especially after reading the rejections here. My grades are generally strong, but my transcript isn’t perfect—there’s a small note, more of a detail, that I thought might get me rejected. My worst grades (2.0 and 1.7) are in math-related subjects, so I was worried that might hurt my chances. Still a bit surprised, but I’m excited for the opportunity and will do my best!
