Same 1/25 BU post. Forgot to share the interview contents. I was asked about my past projects and my future plan.

Interviewed, and received an offer of funding a week after. Field: visualization. No publication.

I am the 1/25 interview post of BU. My GRE is listed, and my TOEFL is waived (had an MS in the US). I have 3 papers: 1 top paper (2nd author), 2 IEEE papers (1st author). 1 top paper under review(1st author).

Unofficial email from PI. Interviewed a few weeks ago

So now I heard one interviewer saying that results will come out this week, I also heard that many interviewers saying that it will come in 10 days, 2 weeks ext. At this point, I'm just not going to believe in any gossips and just wait. People you should do that too, and just wait until your mails give you something.

I think getting an interview is necessary for the admit. TTPB who got invite for HCI; when is your interview? I guess results will be announced when all the interviews are done. I would be devasted to get rejected after the interview.

TTPB: Got email from committee, saying formal notification will be sent later

TTPB: Did you get an official letter from the department or just an unofficial letter?

TTPB: Would you mind sharing the initials of which HCI professor reached out to you? Thanks in advance!

Interview from HCI group. Very surprised.

TTPB: My interviewer told me the results will be out this week.

area: PL

TTPB: I thought/heard Stanford doesn't really do interviews for Computer Science. Only some departments do, maybe, but the vast amount of candidates don't get an interview. Can anyone confirm?

TTPB: I agree with you, that is a possibility. I was even expecting an interview from Stanford but now I'm living on the edge. IMO, interview turnout should about 50-70%. Did the POI tell you about the result data? Past years trend shows that it should in the second week of Feb.

TTPB, I agree with most of the points, just want to add that people might not report their rejection as much as admissions. So maybe many people who got interviewed but got rejected later during the past years didn't really post the rejections, given the anonymity here. Just a thought :)

Email from PI on 1/27 and from another on 2/1.

If they screened people out can they just send out the rejections? This is killing all of us. Just in case they accept someone in the rejection pile I bet no one will complain about that.

CS undergrad. 3.5 years full-time engineering experience.

TTPB: Thanks for the information. I wonder how will they select 'k' candidates? If they had already ranked candidates then why bothering taking interviews for candidates, not in top 'k'? I checked gradcafe for the rejection after the interview post from 2017-2020, seems like only a couple of people get rejected after the interview. I am just speculating, we have to wait for one more week. My interview was taken by POI mentioned in SoP, but he hasn't read my SoP for sure. Maybe the committee screened the candidates and forwarded them to POI for their further comments.
