To the posters who got Cornell admits, congratulations! Can you share if you were selected for hep-ex and if you had an interview before selection?

Are all acceptance letters for Information Science PhD already out?

Waitlisted via email. If you aren't planning on attending please let them know. It's my top choice school.

Well, that hurt.

Very simple, generic rejection email. Master's GPA 4.0 in a quite "well-known" institute famous for biomedical research (usually within top 50 in QS rankings every year), 1 accepted publication (biochemistry-related), 1 on the way (biology/biomedical), several years of full-time research in biomedical sciences (current research student) and 1 year full-time in organic chemistry. One intensive summer research program attended in the past. Many domestic and international conferences, excellence award in one international conference, merit-based scholarships awarded all these years, honors in undergrad. Well although possibly these factors don't really matter anymore, repeated rejections, possibly out this year. Just know that there is very intense competition, especially as an international student.

UG is international with two years of RA experience. One publication at top journal and on top conference. Also very disappointed.

Generic rejection email.

Nearly perfect GPAs in both BS and MS degrees. 6 months of research experience at a top university. 3 years of teaching experience. Q168 V150 AW3.5. International student with both degrees in the states.

CMT, gravity theory

Have published a journal paper and several conference proceedings during my graduate studies. Solid LORs from internationally regarded professors. High grad/undergrad GPA, not from an U.S. institution, but still one of the top 3 institutions in my country.
