Ignore the waitlist. I applied for CS direct doctorate, but my application status changed to Computer Science MSc. I guess this may indicate that my direct doctorate application failed and thus automatically changed to and reconsidered as a master application. Does anyone in the same situation as me?

Received an email to check status.

Got an email to check the portal. Typical rejection letter

meh, expected it by this point

Italian student from Politecnico di Torino BSc in Computer Engineering. Grade average: 29.3/30 (GPA = 3.9), no research experience, no internships, I guess very good SoP and good LoRs. Unexpected.

Two NeurIPS submissions, one oral. Idk why I was not accepted. Anyway, got accepted to PhD in University of Toronto.

Fyi. Decisions for DS MSc have already been out. If you have not received acceptance or rejection, that means that you are on a waiting list. By the end of March final results will be announced. However, with a high probability, your application is rejected, because the number of people who are on the waitlist and got accepted is really small.

Chinese students. Top uni in northeast China. Decent overall GPA (95.4/100, 1/85). Several highly-related national awards (mainly CTF games). Some project experience and one internship as a security researcher in a famous company. Low GRE I think (V 153, Q 169, AW 3.5). No publications. No patents. No CVE numbers.
