University of California-Berkeley

Computer Science, PhD (F20)

Rejected via E-mail on 04 Mar 2020

Note

Track: AI. Undergrad from India and Masters from Canada at top tier institutes; 7 conference papers, 2+ years solid work experience in a research team (RL + robotics), 3 strong LoRs, good grades and GRE(166Q, 163V and 5.5AWA). Still rejected. I guess it's insanely competitive + my references were not in the admission committee's usual reference circle. Dejected since I'm not sure what else I could've done. But it's okay. I'll focus on the science at some other university that's happy to have me.
