Is UCSD CS MS a good program. Doesn't it take hundreds of students every year? Moreover counting 100-200 deferrals last year wouldn't it be just too crowded?

TTPB who got rejected on 19 Mar - mind sharing your stats? Thanks.

Generic rejection letter on the portal

Did my undergrad study(major in CS) at a UC. I have two strong LoRs from two (UCSD alumni) tenured Professors(one obtained a Ph.D. degree from UCSD, one did his Postdoc research and served as a Research Faculty at UCSD for more than 5 years) and one strong LoR from a rising star assistant professor. Still got rejected. I met lots of students with lower GPA/weaker background(or even majored in other majors during undergrad) who got accepted from UCSD. So it seems a little bit weird to me that I get rejected.

Got email to check portal

How many were accepted at all?

TTPB: I'm the person below who has a 3.9+ GPA and still got rejected by UCSD, and yeah I also got rejected by GaTech and was waitlisted by UCLA. Not sure if they value GPA or GRE that much or if I was just unlucky. I do agree that future applicants should be careful applying to MS CS programs at these three schools as they get more competitive each year.

Publications greater than 7. Multiple research internships. Strong lors and sop. Thought I would get this. All round consideration of profile is just a hoax. All they do is sort by cpga and gre or teofl scores. Doesn't value entire profile. All universities care is about application money. Strong advice to future applicants don't apply to California and gatech unless you have cgpa > 8.5. Wastage of money. I will show what iam capable of in terms of research than your admitted students

Cs graduate, 7 months research experience at a full-time job as a data scientist, grad project on NLP. I was interested in specializing in NLP.

The worst decision to apply here!! UCSD thinks of itself as close to CMU, Stanford and seems to admit people with only stellar profiles.

From a top 20 CS school in the U.S. with 3.9+ GPA and good GRE, strong recommendation letters from research advisors, have no idea why I got rejected. Got better offers anyway.

Permanent member of rejection gang. Not a single offer :(

Sucks. Just waiting for Maryland and USC now.

Good luck to those who were accepted. Don't see the point in them accepting people with profiles that get accepted by CMU and the likes, because those guys would choose CMU over this.
