Cheers to a super noisy process! 2200 applicants. People, believe in yourself.

Had an interview in January. Got TAship.

TTPB: Yeah rejection doesn't mean you are bad prob the prof found better matches. The whole PhD admission process is extremely noisy. I know people getting into top places like MIT with few publications.

TTPB: Yes Ik its about match. However, shouldn't they mention a reason for reject? Unis could atleast do that for the money we spent ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Generic rejection email. Was my top choice :(

General rejection mail...

TPB: Rejection doesn't mean you are not good enough, just profs find someone better matches their interest than you.

TTPB, I received the offer from MSCV yesterday. They E-mail you the letter and ask you to E-mail your written decision and pay deposit. I didn't receive that link.

Undergrad, HCI focus. 5 conference publications with 3 top-tier pubs as first author and 2 second-tier pubs as coauthor. Meet possible POI about 2 years ago at the conference, and knowing that my advisor has some connection with this POI. Heart broken results, but still need some improvements to get in I guess. Congrats to all who got admission :)

Universities should start mentioning reason for reject atleast so we get to know where to improve

AI/ML with funding. Had interview earlier in the week with a POI not on my SOP.

Applied for PhD, accepted for MS.

Expected, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. 1st rejection of the season.

No interview. As expected..

Official email from department. First author NeurIPS paper, multiple research internships at a GAFA company and two research stays at top US schools. Absolutely stoked!
