Is there any news from CSD PhD program? Is there anyone who got accepted?

TTPB: I totally agree with your Asian only policy. Btw I am an Asian man and currently single.

So excited! I am an international student. I have pretty extensive teaching experience, and no major pubs but I worked very hard on my applications and I think my profile is pretty strong all-around.

Submitted my application on Jan 4th, received an email yesterday about a status update.

Received an email at 5pm EST to check the application portal. Undergrad from Tier 1 university in India. 1.5 years work ex at Top MNC. No publications

Rejected by Direct Phd, and accepted by Computer Science MSc.

Can anyone who has been admitted into the Ph.D. program share the date of the virtual visit day? I just want to get a sense of whether I should give up waiting.

Indian student here with CGPA 9/10 and GRE Q168V152. I had a 2 year teaching experience in computer programming and machine learning, plus additional teaching voluntary experience. I have exceptional research too in my ugrad, though no publications. It seems Princeton has only admitted American citizens this year and few other students who already are undergrad from Princeton. I have seen so many good profiles bring rejected this year which makes me question the selection criteria of Princeton or for that sake all the IVY leagues. It seems they have played it safe this year due to covid shit. Their generic message, though, doesn't do the justice to the applicants and they should rather explain that they are refusing to accept any international students for 21-22.

Received an email to check application portal. No full time work ex except for a couple of internships & two international publications.

Got an email from the graduate program coordinator regarding the admit, official letter to be sent in a few days. Top 5 IITs, no publications, 9.25+ GPA, 1.5 years work exp.

TTPB: Congrats on acceptance! Do you mind sharing your profile and date of submission of the application?

Is the USC portal down?

TTPB: did you have any interview? If yes, when? Can you also share your profile?

Accepted from the department. Still awaiting online application status change.

6.43/10 GPA. Excellent LORs from professors as I did lots of research work with them. No pubs. Good SOP. 320GRE (161Q/159V/4.5AWA). Happy that I got accepted.
