I did not take GRE, just TOEFL. I communicated with the Professor before applying.

Applied in early November. Safe school!

3 Publications in top and mid conferences with 1 being first author. I am shocked that the notification came so fast (I applied on October 26).

Interviewed with POI, checked the status of my application about a week later and saw that I was accepted. No email notification. Did not submit GRE scores, 3.85 GPA, Good LOR's, some research experience in ML, 4 undergrad internships.

Ttpb: when did you submit your application?

I visited this web page a lot until I personally received an ad notification late last night... Good luck to those that are still waiting (my app was under review in late October).
