Expected, since I have heard that applications to this program is highly dependent on finding an advisor who would take you in.

Physics major medium gpa (3.62) , good letters (presumably), fair amount of research. Grad school is really a sh!t shoot, never be discouraged

To the precious UW poster, would you mind sharing your PI please? (:

Not surprised. BA in Linguistics and Chinese, lived abroad for 6 years working, but weak comp sci background. Was encouraged to apply for their certificate program, but will just accept one of the other offers I have.

already started to prepare for the next year

No surprise but took forever.

4 rejections so far. At this point everything else will also be rejections!

Background: BS in Linguistics & French from University of Wisconsin, 4 semesters of Russian, some Ukrainian, some entry level comp sci courses- I spent the last year taking several courses online to strengthen my math/comp sci, completed training + practicum in Language and Literacy therapy for children w/ dyslexia, interested in working with alternative/augmentative communication devices (previous experience working w/non verbal individuals w/ autism). I believe my background working with children with disabilities and interest in assistive technology was big in my favor.

General rejection

Power and Energy Syst.

Not surprised didn't have the interview. Congrats to those who got accepted!

Undergrad degree in linguistics from UCLA (3.96 GPA, department honors). One research paper, unpublished. Lots of post-grad classes in math and comp sci. I think the strongest part of my application was my essay, because I made sure to show a) that I was a good fit/invested in UW specifically, and b) what I wanted to do with the degree, in relation to my professional background.

Background: BS & MS(by research) in CS, with a graduate thesis on machine learning. 1 research paper(2nd author) in a top-tier big data conference. 1+ years of NLP experience at a US healthcare firm. Studied German for 2 semesters (undergrad). Knows Sanskrit(intermediate), Hindi(advanced), and Telugu. Really can't figure out why I wasn't accepted.

Majored in Linguistics and minored in Computer Science, with trainings of Algorithms and Data Structures. Having one research paper but not in the field. Taken an undergraduate level computational linguistics course. Knows Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, and English. Able to code in Swift, C++, and several other programming languages. Worked as a indie app developer. Can't actually figure out why I am rejected. :(

I previously posted that I am on the waitlist. Today they invited me to interview--apparently other waitlisted students will be interviewed as well, but taking it as a good sign!
