Applied for the MIIS program on the November 19th deadline. Got a reject today via e-mail at 3 AM IST. 1 paper submitted to an international conference which was rejected and work-ex of almost 2 years at a top MNC. Average GPA and GRE. Does anyone know why the decisions for rejects came in so late?

Stop blaming deferrals for not getting accepted. I have spoken to people at CMU and in the departments I checked, the deferrals were minimal.. and they added spaces to make the impact minimal. CMU is on par with Stanford and MIT when it comes to cs so it is highly selective. Almost none are that good that they have a 100% shot with CMU, and sorry to say it, you are most likely not one of them. Stay humble and recognize that you just did not get in, don't spoil it for others, and don't blame the school for the fact that you didn't get into one of the best CS graduate programs on the planet

MIIS reject. Why didn't they tell us of the effect of deferrals, No GRE has been a way of looting money like hell & playing with candidate's feelings, same happening with every university, bloody cash cows, expecting the same thing from MCDS results.

No interview. Area: Graphics.

I heard back from POI on the 21st. He said he does not know the status of my application, which is strange. Maybe doesn't want to break the bad news, lol! Also asked if I heard from other schools. :(

TTPB: Did you receive an e-mail? Do I have to keep refreshing the portal to finally get the closure I need?

GPA 85% from one of the top 120 universities. No GRE. 1st author of a submitted paper. IELTS 7.

TTPB: Thanks for responding! I also have dropped them an email asking for clarification, they have not gotten back yet. Guess we will see. Goodluck! NOTE: My decision status is not "wait listed" - there was not an appropriate option for me to select while asking this question.

Dean's Fellowship.

TTPB: Received the same email. Had an interview back in November. Not sure about what this means too. But I guess either an offer will come soon or they want to find out whether you will accept the offer before they give one. I'm trying to contact them about what's going on.

CMU MS ML really be like we will give out the results in Feb and don't until now. CMU peeps please give a date instead of a "couple of days"!

Does anyone know when will CMU CS PhD release the results? Thanks!

No Interview. Got Fellowship offer for the first year with five year package of financial support. Field: Machine Learning.

I received an invite for Grad Visit Day from the University. RSVP by 24 Feb. Anyone else in the same boat? It sounds like an orientation session for new admits, but Quest applicant portal does not show any update to the application. What does this mean? NOTE: My decision status is not "wait listed" - there was not an appropriate option for me to select while asking this question.

GPA; 3.96/4, No GRE, one journal and one conference publications, more than 2years work experience as a machine learning engineer, 2years research experience, 6 months teaching assistantship

TTPB: When did you receive the acceptance and when did you receive the email for being considered for the scholarship?
