Graduated with a BSc in Computer Science from a Greek University, 8+/10. I cannot be certain about my LoRs, but had a decent SoP and some research experience (no papers). Also no GRE.

Expected

Top 1% at my TU9 university, I was 99% sure that I was going to get in. I previously had published a paper on computer vision, had strong LORs from my research and also an SWE internship at a global firm.

Bachelors at a not so well known uni (QS 400-450) in Europe, I think it was my motivation letter that got me in.

Almost 4 years of research experience, co-authorship of Q1 article, summer internship at ETH, LoR from ETH Professor, 4-year bachelor in Physics from top-1 national uni with plenty of special course. Was kinda obvious anyways according the result of this year. Not so good gpa and pretty bad GRE.

Still finishing my CS bsc at a Southern Italian uni, grades avg over 29/30, few years of experience with CTF, 116/120 TOEFL, no GRE

Old IIT (EE), 5 research-based internships, multiple projects, 1 A* conference workshop published paper, 2 in review at A* conference/journals, 1 good LoR, 1 strong LoR

Had an LoR from a respected Professor at ETH Zurich so was likely to get in

Imperial College Bsc If your Bsc major does not match to this program to a large extent, don't apply!!!! Otherwise you're wasting money

Imperial College Bsc Biochemistry, 3 lab experiences, no LoR is required for this program. My Bachelor's degree content does not match this program, still waiting for Biology.

Applied to direct doctorate. Got rejected for both direct doctorate and MSc program.
