Dream school

My GPA belongs to my master's degree

Ugrad from top 10. 1 first author at a top conference. Great LoR from well known professors. What more do they want????

Expected. Though still a little bit upset.

Two workshop papers (one first author), and one journal paper and one conference paper in progress. Two strong letters from famous profs. 4.0 MS GPA at top 10 program. Low GRE scores and mediocre undergrad GPA.

2 internship experience, one on going publication, Congratulations to those who were admitted :)

Two years research in machine learning. I will come back to get my honor Ph.D anyways when I donate a building named after me in the future.

No pubs, ~4.0 MS GPA, worked for a year at a well-known software company.
