Missed my dream professor =))

no pub, but 2 years of research and teaching exp, LORs from known professors,

Accepted to UIUC, rejected from Princeton and most likely Berkeley. Wait-listed at MIT; at this point I'm not quite sure what they saw in me! (Applying for theory, good math and CS GPAs, 800/800/5.5/860CS GRE, no publications).

Great! I like the rejection, otherwise I have to consider one more school...

Sub-area is Computer Vision. Got already 6 rejs and 0 admit.

Expected.

Contacting professor triggers a rejection email.

All rejs......Lost............

my dream school rejected me :-(

0/5 so far with top schools. I come from an unranked university. B.S. in CS. GPA 3.84 GRE (800,540,4.5), american. Not surprised to get rejected since other being rejected have more research experience than me. It's always sad to get rejected though. I'll go through the 5 stages of depression.

a lot of Cornell Rejects in this website...

as expected...

Have offers from better schools, thanks though

Very Depressed! - Rejection reasons (I guess): BSc and MSc from unranked, unkonwn university, LORs not from famous professors. Qualifications: MSc in Computer Vision. Two 1st-author papers (1 at a good journal (Pattern Recognition Letters) and another at a major conference (BMVC)). GRE: Q790, V530, A3.5. Toefl ibt: 103 (Speaking 22, R/L/W 27). 4-year TA experience and part-time CAD SW developer. Undergrad GPA: 92.63% and was ranked first/250 students. Rejections: UW, Toronto, EPFL, MIT, CMU, Cornell - Acceptances: IST

NLPer, GPA3.73/3.80, 1 paper in EMNLP, 2 papers in LREC; focus on opinion mining and want to work with Prof. Lillian Lee. It's the first rej which really makes me sad :(
