First acceptance. Thrilled!

Rejected by PhD program but accepted as master. Suprised since my profile is not competitive comparing to rejections here, except my GRE quantitative scored 170 which I don't think should be any strong strength. Already got a master, so probably won't go, the opportunity cost could be so high. Still, it's so hard to reject Stanford.

Eh thought I had a good chance with 2 years exp at tech startup and ivy league undergrad. Oh well.

Disappointed but not surprised by my rejection. 3.3 GPA from SJSU chem eng but had a 4.2 Stanford GPA from taking 3 graduate MS&E courses as part of their graduate certificate program. Had 3 strong letters of rec and a 4th strong but generic letter from one of my Stanford professors. GRE Q:164 V:166. 5 years of work experience, worked with a consultant to craft a strong SOP. Congrats if you got in!

RWTH-undergrad who posted below: quant GRE score was 168

Very, very sad and disappointed :( Top 2% of class at RWTH Aachen (Germany), Mechanical Engineering undergrad, GPA was translated only into 3.3 though (there is high grade deflation in Aachen) 1 year undergrad research assistant 6 month internship at prestigious automobile company Community service (not leadership positions) Five scholarships as undergraduate 3 academic LOR Could anybody share his profile here? I suppose mine was not enough for Stanford MS&E. Also don't know how good SOP and LOR were for them. How big is the role of Verbal and AW parts of GRE? 153 and 4.0 are not that good, maybe that was the cut-off...

2 years relevant work experience. Pretty sad :-(

2 years of industry work experience

1a/1r/3p - Top choice, so thrilled!

Absolutely thrilled. My first and only acceptance so far, and my top choice!

Got an email from them. Not expected. I thought I have a good chance with rich research experience in the field of data science and one reference letter from Stanford. Anyway, we should look forward, and good luck to everyone, wish all of you a bright future.

Rejected again after phd. A little bit disappointed, but I already got offers from other top schools.

Thought I had a good chance with a lot of industry experience. Devastated

Wasn't expected! I thought I had a good chance. 2 years work-ex in the field of AI. Several research experiences along with some decent entrepreneurship ex. Nonetheless, have UC Berkeley so will go with it!

Rejected from MS Computer Science last year. Made it into MS&E this year - and it's a much better fit too. No financial aid for MS students (as expected).

Was rejected by PhD then rejected by Master's. SOP was definitely my weak point...I wasn't satisfied with my own SOP... Previously business major and working as product manager at a startup in SF
