Stanford results really are out, people aren't spamming. I got a very weird looking email with the subject "Congratulations" from the CS department. First line was, "Your Stanford ID number is ...". The email had a lot of spacing between paragraphs, they really made me scroll. It was very odd haha, but I am really happy I got in.

Anybody's application still under review?

HCP applicant. 2 years out of undergrad, and have been working at FAANG since graduating. Math/CS double major & 3.8 GPA at mid-tier UC. 1 yr research experience in math, 1/2 year research in CS department, though neither led to publications. 2 software internships during undergrad. Took one SCPD course last year & got an A. Got very strong LORs from research advisor (Math prof from undergrad) & manager at work, and (presumably) alright LOR from SCPD professor. Really didn't expect to get in, but I am really stoked. :-)

Rejected for MS CS at NEU Boston. Was instead recommended to apply to NCH London.

Oh, btw, fuck you fake posters.

Tier 3 University from India with 2 pubs and good GPA, LORs, and GRE scores. Didn't expect a rejection considering some of the other admits I received. Very stressful process though urgh.

Just checked. Under review became update pending. Want to know if this happened for everyone. If that's the case, then can we assume this is a mass reject wave?

LOOOOOL.

Haha, same. It's finally showing as "update pending". I hope that it's not a reject but that looks unlikely. This is certainly one of the worst admission processes of all - why can't they simply release all the admits/rejects at roughly the same time like CMU or other universities.

After checking for the 158th time, status changed from 'Application Under Review' to 'Update Pending', which probably means the department made its decision and forwarded it to the graduate programs office. Did the status change for anybody else? This could mean anything - could be mass reject. I don't know, I think I am going to cry 😭

How many students does Stanford accept every year? Just wondering about how competitive this program is.

Undergrad from the best IIT. Super happy! Powai -> Palo Alto

One RL from a Stanford professor with whom I conducted research, one top CV conference co-first author paper.

I did not expect this; it was my safety school, lol. Email received around 6 am (UK time), which is odd! Top 15 UK uni, No GRE.

TTPB Congrats! When did you receive the email?

IIT-B Chemical Engg undergrad with 4 years of work-ex as Software Engineer. GPA: 9.27/10. 6 months of research experience, no publications.

EE undergrad from top IIT. Focus: AI/Theory. Stoked and will probably go.

Rejects for F'20 was at Friday 9:54PM PST
