Contacted by POI to have a Skype interview. Accepted applicants will be invited to an Open House Recruitment Event that will occur in late Feb., so I'm assuming final decisions should be made by then.

Fulbright phd scholarship grantee, applied to machine learning track, 2 years of industry experience as a data scientist, msc + bsc from electrical engineering, 3 high index journal publications (all with first authorship) +10 conference proceedings (4 of them written during my undergrad), currently writing a book chapter, still rejected without an interview. In shock

2 yrs of undergrad research, 2 yrs of work, No published papers Amazing fellowship!! YAYAY

Got an email from POI for an interview!!!!!!!

I regret to inform you that you have not been admitted. The number of people we can admit each year is quite limited, and as a result of intense competition, we must deny admission to many well qualified candidates.

In-person interview February 8

I didn't see anyone got an offer from ME, BU online but they have me on the waitlist. Sad

Interview scheduled on Jan 24.

Interview dates Feb. 25th-26th.
