I am writing in regard to your application for admission to graduate study at the University of Southern California. After careful review of your application and supporting materials, the Admission Committee has asked me to inform you that your application to the Master of Science program in Computer Science (Data Science) for Fall 2021 has not been approved, and we are not able to offer you admission to this program. We understand this must be very disappointing news. Please bear in mind that each year the university receives applications from many more students than it can accommodate. Admissibility is determined by the size of the applicant pool as well as student credentials. Unfortunately, as a result we are not able to offer admission to some students of significant ability and potential. We encourage you to continue to work toward your educational and professional goals, and wish you every success in your future endeavors.

My application status has been Update Pending all week and I've received no emails about updates but when I checked my portal tonight (also checked earlier in the day) it showed a congratulatory message :) very happy and wishing good luck to everyone else who is still waiting on decisions

Accepted to the CS PhD program at UIUC on 3/11 and notified of an additional fellowship ($3000/year) on 3/12. I'm honestly shocked, I assumed they would have sent out all their acceptances already! Stats: undergrad 4.0 GPA from a decent US public university, several publications but all in applied ML fields, strong LORs (I think). Area: ML
