International student. Had an interview 2 days ago. Area: ML/CV.

Official reason was my undergrad subjects were not good enough

Anyone who got accepted into Rochester or know about how are the chances of getting admission from the Visit Weekend?

I'm the one who posted about the interview below. Small correction, I was contacted by the director of graduate studies, not the department head.

TTPB I got an email today from the program head requesting an interview tomorrow during the prospective student event. She also said final decisions will be made next week.

No interview. Background: Maths & cs bachelor's from one of the best German universities with perfect marks and previous research experience

Has anyone heard from U Notre Dame for PhD CSE fall admit 2021?

TTPB: Radio Silence for now. I mailed them asking the timeline. they sent a generic mail. However, a few ppl I know have done interviews with their POI and received acceptances from them. So not much hope as UIUC is faculty-centric.

email was in junk mail, area: theory

International student from India from an IIT. High GPA. One workshop publication. Decent LoRs.

Surprised by this as it was my ambitious option. Undergrad GPA 3.2 from Top 20 CS departments. GRE - 324 (Q-164,V-160). Good SOP, recommenders personally knew POI, likely a back door entry due to my horrible GPA. Good undergrad research experience with 2 pubs.

International student from a top 20 CS school in the U.S.
