Expected. Undergrad isn't CS but did double major. CS-only GPA is probably a little below 3.0 actually. MSCS GPA is 3.9/4.0. Two publications: one as 3/4 authors in IJCAI and one as 2/8 authors in EMNLP workshop. Even if this year's application pool wasn't as competitive my profile probably isn't strong enough for acceptance. Planning to strengthen it and apply again in the future.

Guys whoever gets accepted or rejected please do write their profile, it will help get closure and understand the admission process better. CGPA, Work EX, Research Ex., Research paper, Journal international or not, extracurricular activity, social service etc.

1 top-tier ML conference paper, 1 top-tier journal paper in intelligent transportations, 1 strong LoR, 2 good LoR (one of whom has personal connections with one of the professors I wrote on my SoP), 2.5 years work exp.

4.0 GPA undergrad, 4.0 MSc GPA in AI. Fantastic LORS. 19/20 ML MSc project. No publications. No interview, no communication, just rejection :)

NLP. Interviewed.

Saw results posted on this forum, checked portal and saw rejection
