Carnegie Mellon University

Computer Science, Masters (F20)

Accepted via E-mail on 29 Feb 2020

Note

Got the offer in the morning, was tensed looking at all the rejections here. I have offers from UCL, NYU, Cambridge, USC, and now CMU. The acceptance rate of the program is so extremely low (I mean WOW! it's sick), I thought I'd be rejected. My profile: 1 Granted Patent, 9 First Author Publications (Mostly in tier - 1 and tier 2 journals; IEEE Access, Wireless Networks, etc.), 3 Granted Software Copyrights, External Reviewer for IEEE Access, 2 Articles about me in news media, 1 Pending Patent, 1 Prestigious internship at Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), India. Now, the decision is going to be tough. All the best to others, decisions are still being sent, so do not lose hope.
