NLP. No interview.

CMU LTI PhD. No interview.

Oral offer by poi. I reject it.

AI. Offer with full fund. 2 interviews with poi

I focus on AI. My research interests match well with my poi. So I was strongly recommended to the committee after the informal meeting. No committee interview is required for PhD admission at UW-Madison. The admission rate is approximately 6%.

Generic rejection email + "It has been determined that your application may be better suited for consideration to the Master's degree program", which I understand most of the time is not funded and is super expensive. Go$dam$

Several independent projects and research experience, two publications. They said I was a better fit for the Masters program.

Generic rejection email + "It has been determined that your application may be better suited for consideration to the Master's degree program."

LTI PhD. had an interview, 2 pre prints, 1 as a first author.

We received over 3700 applications this year and were not able to admit all competitive applicants. The Graduate Admissions Committee evaluated the applications very carefully and had to make difficult decisions, denying admission to many excellent candidates because of the limited number of available slots.
