Computer Science PhD Graduate School Admission Results

as expected...

Have offers from better schools, thanks though

no hard feelings, my field is much stronger/broader in Stanford where I have an admit already along with Harvard's. Here I come Palo Alto :)

Very Depressed! - Rejection reasons (I guess): BSc and MSc from unranked, unkonwn university, LORs not from famous professors. Qualifications: MSc in Computer Vision. Two 1st-author papers (1 at a good journal (Pattern Recognition Letters) and another at a major conference (BMVC)). GRE: Q790, V530, A3.5. Toefl ibt: 103 (Speaking 22, R/L/W 27). 4-year TA experience and part-time CAD SW developer. Undergrad GPA: 92.63% and was ranked first/250 students. Rejections: UW, Toronto, EPFL, MIT, CMU, Cornell - Acceptances: IST

NLPer, GPA3.73/3.80, 1 paper in EMNLP, 2 papers in LREC; focus on opinion mining and want to work with Prof. Lillian Lee. It's the first rej which really makes me sad :(

Not even an offer for master without aid. Nothing. I feel really sad. We appreciate your interest in Cornell and wish you success in continuing your studies at another university. And I would appreciate you give me back my money.

They changed my status directly from 'submitted'(which was the status for last 3 months) to 'decision available' where a reject was waiting. I wonder, if they at all reviewed my application or not.

To the previous poster: I had no previous contact and I got an individual email from the admissions coordinator.

theory; good european university; quite poor overall gpa, good gpa in theoretical computer science; good recos; some independent research (some talks at minor conferences; one result submitted for a major conf); some community work; 800/570/4.0, 880 CS GRE

Yeah, "File Sent to Admissions Office"

There is still hope!

"Your admission decision will be available online as of 2/15/2011." To the posters of WUSTL below, has your online status changed to: file sent to admission office?

As expected. Some REU, no pubs
