I got interviewed for Comp. Bio. I thought it went well. But got a rejection today. I wonder what's the criteria for acceptance!!

Did any Stats Masters admits interview?

"We regret to inform you that we will not be offering you admission.... We received over 2400 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." Well~ one school off the list. Stay hopeful.

Wasn't expecting them to get back so soon! Generic email rejection. Not great fit with profs at the school, not upset by the rejection.

BS in ME from Korea's top engineering school, 2.5 years work experience in field robotics, 2 publications (1 AAAI, 1 IEEE Transactions on ITS), 1 Strong LoR, 2 good LoR, tailored SoP

Kind of expected, since there is no interview.

Had three interviews, all not went very well. I hate all the schools that interview much more than they could accept!!!

Had an interview, thought it went well– guess not!

Had a one hour interview with POI who seemed super interested in my research. We had a great discussion, surprised with the result. Interviews feel like a waste of time. some are 1 hour some are 15 min, what are they judging in 15 min?

No interview, but thought POI aligned with research well. Oh well

:-)

3.71 GPA @ Arizona State University, 2 NASA internships, a few other research internships, but no publications yet. Strong LORs, thought I wrote a decent SOP catered to the school. This is just how it goes.

Interviewed in late January. Track is systems/networks.
