TTPB: December 17th

I am the one who wrote the post below. Do not consider this part of my comment: "(I thought that without a GRE score I can\'t get admission, but now I know it is possible. So if you don\'t have a GRE score, don\'t worry)." I copy-paste this description from another comment that I have written for the University of Alberta, and I forgot to remove this part from it.

I applied for thesis-based MSc. My profile is as follows (I try to present as much details as I can): - Held position of TA for 6 distinct courses - Participated in 5 research projects - 1 under review paper in a Q1 journal and 2 under preparation papers - Last 2 years GPA: 19.51/20 | Overall GPA: 19.43/20 - 2 Strong LOR and one unknown status (I mean I didn't read it, so I don't know what he wrote) LOR from 3 different countries - Ranked 6th in the Partner Robot challenge of World Robot Summit 2018 - Ranked 1st in class - A reward with a considerable amount that shows I was among the top 11 students in the whole university - IELTS: 7.5 | No GRE (I thought that without a GRE score I can't get admission, but now I know it is possible. So if you don't have a GRE score, don't worry) - Vice Chairman of the Modeling and Artificial Intelligence Committee in Brain and Cognition Association of my university - Leader of School of AI in my hometown (held 5 events) - 1.5 year of work experience as a front-end developer - 13 certificates related to ML, DL, and RL fields- 8 selected projects (and more in my GitHub account) - Currently a researcher in the NLP group at my university - I think my SoP was strong, but I'm not sure :) - BSc of Computer Engineering - Field: Robotic Good luck to the ones who got accepted.

Two publications (one first author), 3.15/4 GPA. I am sad.

14 -months of work experience. GPA 3.22/4.0

TTPB who got rejected from MS CS from McGill, when did you submit your application?

I was going through a lot of research groups while applying. While I found most profs take students based on merit irrespective of origins, I noticed Chinese prof work only with chinese students and won't work with others even if they are good enough. Why is that? Just curious and intend no offense.

Any telegram group for admitted MSE/CIS students?

They sent the mail yesterday and said this -- "At this time your application remains at the review stage however we hope to have more information in the coming week".

Did anyone else get an email saying all decisions will be out this week?

Did any of applicants' or admits' recommenders get a verification / any other questions email?

A generic email letting know that the application is still in review and the final decision should be made this week.

0 out of 6, definitely a bad season

TTPB: Can you share your profile. And do you have more info regarding this. I also applied to the same program.

I had applied for MSCS, but got a rejection email from Tom Hurst and asking if I would like to be considered for MPS in ML and so forwarded my application for consideration. Got the admit on Saturday.

Submitted application in Feb, interviewed in March, still pending... what's going on?!
