3 years ago, on the same day, I got a reject from Purdue for MS. Now, for Ph.D. 5th in UG. 1st in PG. 2 International conference papers. 2 years of research experience. One prof from Purdue also was interested in working but I guess I didn't make it through admissions committee. All the best to those who got in. I believe Purdue is a great school and I hope the admitted students do some kickass research :D

To the poster reply me, if you are also in the waiting list, you can contact me. [email protected]

Sent them an enquiry email. Got a form letter of rejection in response. No reason supplied for rejection.

To the poster below on the wait list, what are your GPA, GRE, and TOEFL scores?

The secretary told me that I am still in the waiting list, do I still have hope? I really love this university.

Amazingly, this was the first school I was rejected from. Currently at 8/9 rejections. Sad days

5th in UG. 1st in PG. My thesis advisors were good friends with profs from UBC(so, strong recommendations). I almost thought that UBC will accept me even if others didn't. This is my 7th reject out of the 9 I've applied to. It is extremely disheartening. Maybe the universe has different plans for me. All the very best to all those who got in. Make the best of the admits you've got. Do great research! Make the world a better place :)

I got an email stating that my application has undergone the initial review phase in the Office of Graduate Admissions. Has anyone got the same email? Applied in March 8th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

Why? Whyyyyyyy? I love this school. Three of their faculty members encouraged me to apply for this program. What happened??? Applied in Dec 5th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

I don't understand this school! Last semester, one of my friends was admitted with lower scores and without having a single paper. No notification email! Applied in Feb 12th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

$28000 fellowship! Yes! Yes! Yes! Applied in Dec 6th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

I received lots of emails from this institution. I didn't read any of them. Accidentally, I opened one of the emails stating that they offered a waiver of the $60 application fee and I seized the opportunity. They emailed me to check the website. Nothing was mentioned about the funding! 20 days later one of the faculty members told me that he wants to support me financially (no comment about the details). Applied in March 18th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

Bye bye my dream school!!! I've got no notification email to check the website! My 4th rejection! Applied in Dec 8th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers. To the post below: the date of notification for Kansas university was Apr 12th.

They emailed me to check the website. Wooooooooowwww. Even u Kansas? Even u? What do you really want? Applied in Dec 9th. MSc GPA: 3.65, ibt TOEFL: 103, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

This rejection was really shocking. I was pretty sure that I could get the admission. Applied in Jan 8th. MSc GPA: 3.65, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

Applied for the master in early January, still no e-mail or bear tracks notifications. Please post your results as far as you get them.

Applied in Nov 30th. MSc GPA: 3.65, 5 ISI papers, 2 conference papers.

Top 20 undergrad school. Not really a surprising rejection. Website said only 18/173 applicants were accepted last year.
