applied for NLP. domestic applicant, t40 cs, 1 solo pub in related STEM field (best paper at midtier conference). i expected a reject due to the miniscule acceptance rate, but i've seen incredible profiles on gradcafe getting rejected as well. seattle is mid anyway (copium)

Timeline: 12.10-2.10; Track: CV+Robotics; BG: 4 non-top pubs, undergraduate; T105, G330; Details: I have touched a POI in Sep. 2022 who encouraged me to submit application and said he will take a close look. The rejection email writes there are over 2800 applicants ot the CSE department competing for dozens of positions, the competition is fierce.

No interview

Ignore the status. Does anyone notice the change on application portal? Everything disappeared, only shows "Thank you xxx! Your application was submitted on xxx"

Accepted after interviewing last week.

This place punches far above its weight, already got acceptances from better programs so not worried. Don't know a single person who's ever gotten in for this program.

Only weak results. Email sent to professors. No interview. But worth the try!

God damn it why doesn't this f***ing period end already. Wasting our time in stress and disappointment. I just want to know all the decisions sooner and get this damn grad school application over with.

No interviews

No pub and get rejection :( No interview for me. Should not have applied for this program!

1.5YoE, applied Dec 15

Accepted, SM - Computational Sciences & Engineering

(Rewritten) I received an acceptance from the interview with my Mila POI in late January. Today, I received an acceptance email from the department, which informs the official letter by the university will come.
