Received an email about a status update on the website. GPA 8.5/10 with 2 years work ex and international publications

I really don't care about this rejection, had already received offer from another top 5 school. This is meant to be my safety school, not safe after all haha.

No Interview

Field: HCI, no interview

Did everyone receive an email saying and update from the Cambridge Postgraduate Office? The email talks about the status of your application (when approved it will go to PAO), funding status, and offer. It is very vague and I am very unsure about what it means..

Emailed to check the website. I did not take the GRE. Top 15 UK uni

Had multiple rounds of interview from HL, thought it went well. But it's fine, I'll just go to UW

Applied to Computer Vision / Robotics. 4.22/4.30 GPA, 3 publications (1 in CV and 2 in unrelated). Suspect it was not great fit & not great SOP. Live and learn.

TTPB: I also got this notification, seems like there is some kind of error in the fact it came out before any official offer, so I am trying not to read too much into it and will wait for official news from the CS dept.

Interview with Prof. Hima Lakkaraju that went well, but turns out she decided not to take any PhD students so well tough luck.

Pros: Almost perfect GPA, very strong LORs, 3 month research experience, ML startup cofounder. Cons: second class uni, no papers

TTPB. I did not receive such notification, which probably means rejection. RIP me.

Applied to AI for social good, Harvard CRCS.
