NLP field. Some first author papers at EMNLP, COLING and WMT. As I know, Ryan is not going to recruit PhDs in this term. So I'm not very surprised by the rejection.

Rejection by email. NLP focus.

(NOT WAITLIST) Is there any info about the ETH AI Center PhD program? Did you receive any acceptance or rejection mails?

CLS+AI Center program at ETH (NLP focus). Ok grades, some first-author publications.

CLS/MPI program at ETH (NLP focus). Did not get notified but the website says that shortlisted candidates were notified. Ok grades, some publications (first author EMNLP, NAACL). Prof. said it was a mismatch of interest from the associated institution (MPI).

BSc Computer Science from KCL. Expected First with Honours. GRE: 166Q/159V. Research experience over the summer; worked as a Teaching Assistant for 3 courses.

Currently finishing BSc CS at an average German University (QS-Ranking 200-250). High preliminary GPA (1.1 where 1 is best and 4 is minimum pass grade). GRE 169(Q)/160(V)/4.0(AW). IELTS 8/9. Finished one semester faster than standard duration of studies. Some research experience from writing the thesis (worth 6+12 ECTS) and a 2 week research internship during high school. Some related professional experience as a student employee (4h/week).

Masters degrees in humanities (Cambridge) and BSc CS from one of the top German universities. Grades very good but not perfect either. Research experience, several internships.

I am currently finishing my Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security with a GPA of 3.82 at top 200 university in Europe. 116/120 at TOEFL.

Known German Technical University EE degree. Bad first year grades (3.0, but didn't count to gpa) much better grades afterwards. I chose electives only with regard to my focus on communication engineering: overall 1.7 GPA ,within the best 15%. I put much time for LOR and SOP, half year related industry experience + 1 university internship. IELTS 7.5 . I think my elective grades and my bachelor thesis made it possible. Good Luck for everyone :)
