Applied for the Masters with a research focus and got rejected from that. However I am still being considered for the course based masters degree.

Expected a rejection but went in with the attitude you don't know until you try.

Heartbreaking. Limited research experience; 3 yoe; good GPA and GRE

I just now received the rejection via Email which stated that, "Thank you for applying to Princeton University's Graduate School for the 2021-22 academic year. While I assure you that the materials you submitted were carefully reviewed by the faculty in the Department of Computer Science, I regret to inform you that the department did not recommend your admission for the coming academic year. The number of admission offers available at Princeton for entering graduate students is extremely limited, and we cannot offer admission to all applicants who are well qualified. Indeed, many departments consistently have applicants who would be admitted without hesitation if additional resources were available. Our decisions take into account not only the applicants' merits but also the suitability of the programs to the candidates' expressed interests. Our goal is to achieve a sound match between the strengths of our programs and the interests of the relatively small number of outstanding students that can be accommodated. Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications which we receive, it is not possible for the department or the Graduate School to go back and review applications to justify the denial or offer advice on fortifying a future application. I wish you success in your plans for graduate study and thank you for considering Princeton University."

waiting on this and some other schools but not keeping my hopes up as it's already March. Do people think it is good etiquette to email schools about the status now?

TTPB starting "Hey let's all calm down a bit." You might have got in if you wrote your SOP as good as you write comments on thegradcafe for internet trolls.

No interview. To the poster below, did you send them an email asking about this situation? I sent an email last week but no response until now.

I really thought I had a chance. One year of teaching, minor research (no pub), First Class with Honours (equal to 4.0 GPA) from a great UK uni.

Undergrad from an ivy. No GRE, good GPA, taught programming to underprivileged HS kids.

No pub. 4 years of software engineering experience. It seems the only two admits are American?

Does anyone happen to know if all MS/PhD decisions are out by now?

Expected and also shocked. Research experience in a well-known US university, no pubs, miscellaneous teaching experience, and still got rejected. Best of luck to everyone who made their own efforts!

IIT undergrad - graduated top 10 in my class; RA at two top 10 schools in the US ~ 1 paper accepted, 1 under submission at SIG confs. Area - systems/arch.

Didn't submit GRE, Low GPA, 4 years reputable internships/experience. Non-CS major (but i'm a minor and my experience was all CS) from tier 1 school! Very excited!

Being considered for course based MS instead

TTBP: The initials of my POI: R.M. Any idea when would the Ms results going to come out?
