GPA 1.02/1.0 - BSc from University of Technology in Austria - 1 strong and 1 exceptional LoR - teaching experience

got rejected from direct doctorate

Status appears as "decided - ESOP requested"

1.3/1.0 from a well-known German university, 2 prestigious scholarships, teaching and research experience

GPA 1.07/1 with 160 ECTS finished in 4 semesters at the time of the application. 2 faang internships, no research experience. LoRs from professors I'm good friends with and that know me well, but they're relatively new to the academia.

Two generic LoR. One internship at a semi-reputable research institute. One internship as a Software Engineer. Some research experience, bu no papers.

Bachelor's in Computer Engineering, 1 good internship and 3+ years of SWE related work experience.

International with bachelor from US school. 3 research assistantships, 1 internship, currently working as a SWE. 2 publications (small conference papers). LoRs from undergrad profs who supervised my research. Applied for ESOP but no interview so I'm taking it as a no. Second time admitted to the master with no funding and there's no way I can afford it. Good luck y'all

e-mail said to check the portal; portal had a semi-generic rejection letter.

Didn't apply for ESOP. EE @ IITK. 1.5 years work ex at big tech.

Top 0.5% of graduating class, 250-300 QS CS Greek university, no GRE, moderate to strong LoRs

2 years of experience as SWE, top 3 german university, one good and one very strong LoRec (did his PhD at ETH), sadly sucky GPA because I cared more about partying than grades during undergrad
