A friend who is in the program said they had a 4% acceptance rate this year. I can only imagine how tough it was for the rest of the schools on my list.

Generic rejection email: "We had a very competitive group of applicants and we are simply unable to accept all of the qualified candidates who applied."

CME. Only 8 months of research experience. No publications. Didn't contact any POI's during the application process.

My first admit among the list of universities I applied . Having a low undergraduate GPA but 3 Journals in top tier conferences (2 accepted , 1 under review). Strong LoRs might have helped. Interviewed in Jan

Area: ML. Stats: International applicant, 3.91 GPA, 2 conference papers (at AISTATS and NeurIPS), had an interview in January.

Three strong letters from IS scholars. Doing IS work for years but not enough global health experiences (an international student).

To the people accepted on February 4th, what topic/lab did you apply to?

To the person who posted about the University of Washington. Congratulations! If you feel comfortable, could you tell me a little bit about how you were notified (briefly here, or in the forum)? Also curious about subfield(s). Thanks!

Email from department indicates acceptance
