Stanford University

Computer Science, Masters (F24)

Rejected via E-mail on 15 Mar 2024

Note

International student, four internships at Big Techs, one year of work experience, two weak publications, 2 of those Big Tech internships were on research teams, a recommendation letter from Stanford Ph.D. (previous manager), a strong recommendation from a professor at Uni and a previous manager at Big tech. Idk, I am kind of disappointed I didn't get in. I know it is highly competitive and stuff, but I prepared so hard for this. I have a great resume, but I come from a very bad university in Latin America if you compare to any other of those US universities. Not sure if this may have had anything to do with it (maybe I had a bad application and just did not realize hahaha), but I wish I could know what they took into account in their decision. Well, congrats to those who were accepted; you should be really proud of yourself. I hope you guys enjoy your time at Stanford!
