To those admitted, on the application portal - were your GRE or TOEFL scores written as (Unofficial) or (Official) in application checklist. To those not admitted, any of you still have unofficial ?

Are these decisions legit?

At least, the wait is finally over

Standard rejection email

Not heard anything yet. Has everyone else received decisions?

(Not Waitlsted) TTPB, can you guys share your profiles too

International Student from a Tier 3 University in India. 8 publications including 2 from AAAI, 2 from EMNLP and 1 from CVPR. Google Summer of Code student in the past and mentor for 2 years. 3 internships in top AI Silicon Valley startups. 3 strong LORs including one from Head of Department and one from GSoC mentor at DeepMind. Not sure what I did wrong

Finally!!. Had given up hope. Congratulations to everyone who got in!

Received offer letter with funding on 5th, still deliberating but most likely will decline. So posting here, hopefully it will help someone waitlisted.

So, yup. The rejection is finally here, so now I can move on. The (admittedly slim) chance of getting in at all kept me hanging for the last 4 months. Well, dreaming ain't a crime. Congratulations to everyone who got in.

TTPB asking btwn Columbia and Wisconsin , I was in a similar situation and chose Wis over Columbia , as I felt their CS prog was stronger . Hope it helps

To the above two posters; I mean, you haven't been rejected, so keep waiting and keep your head up. I would say that I don't think it's likely, which is why I started taking extra measures. If all you have are delayed PhD decisions at this point, you should definitely be making some last-minute applications and contingency plans. There are a few PhD/Masters programs that are still open, so keep an eye out (Tulane PhD and UF MS, I think, are still open). In my case, I had another option, but a Brown masters would have been preferred due to the faculty alignment for my interests. If that is aggressively the case for you (for Brown or something else), maybe consider taking a gap semester/year and re-applying if this cycle doesn't work out. Good luck, honestly. Times are interesting.

I am from Electrical Engineering background with low GPA and no GRE but I had few publications. The rejection was expected.

Status changed to Update Pending this morning. Anybody else with me? What should we expect?

Status changed to update pending on Spire 2 days ago. Got an email about update to the application yesterday. Status changed to Denied today.

Just received email from umass about update posted on website. it says 'update pending', Do we have any chance now?

ttpb: Congrats! Can you please mention the initial of your POI?

Washington University in St.louis or Georgetown or UPittsburgh? Which do I choose?
