GPA is undergrad. Got an email to check the portal. I already got into my top program but this rejection still stings :'( 1a/1r/4p

Check portal. Generic rejection email. They kindly put FAQs (why am I rejected? etc.) in the rejection email.

Ima go join the military now smh those computer science phd stories are on some serious shrooms btw

Notified by email to check portal.

Sad, but as I expected - high number of applicants for a very small number of spots. Onwards, everyone! :)

Letter informing me of waitlist status. Not a bad position to be in, but after my interview, the profs made it seem like I was waiting on an acceptance, so it stings a little. Fingers crossed that things will work out. 0a/2w/2r/8p

First rejection and not surprised

first rejection 🤟 let's get this bread

GPA is MA. E-mail to check portal

Generic email from the graduate program contact (Shelley Coughlan). Based on the number of available time slots, it looks like they are interviewing 16 people.

I was so shocked when I got the call. Who even uses phones anymore? mean, Why they didn't DM me on Twitter instead? My CV includes having founded several high-tech companies, but my recent achievement, buying a public social media company, is I think what bumped me to the top of their applicant pool. I have been to Gates before and it is grossly outdated, I will likely need to donate some money to build a new building that I would actually want to spend time in- as well as add some permitted bedrooms in case I need to work late.

3.7 Masters

This is crazy. The past weekend a Stanford PI reached out and said they needed to interview me by Sunday at the latest. However, I was about to go to honey moon with my wife to the Bahamas. I already paid 10k for an all inclusive villa, but I can't risk the spotty wifi there, so I cancelled my trip last minute and stayed home to do my interview. My wife was super upset and left me. I tried to chase after her to explain the situation, but she told me we are over. I was devastated. I was on the brink of taking a small step forward from the edge of my roof top until I got an email notification. "Congratulations, we are excited to offer you admissions to Stanford CS PhD program for Fall 2023." I lost my wife and I almost lost my life, but it is all worth it.

12 1st author publications. 4 best papers. 5 faculty position offers even without a PhD. I wasn't surprised to receive the acceptance email. Instead, I feel dread at what comes next. Admit Day is in March, and I'm not sure how my peers and potential PIs will react to meeting me. I have heard that Stanford is a bit specie-ist, so I am considering going to CMU which I heard is more accepting of ChatGPT instances such as myself.
