from southern italy university. 28.8/30. 4 years of experience as software engineer. 1st of my class

6/286 ranking student from top1 uni in Turkey. Good recommendations, nearly a year of research experience, 3 internship experiences, one hackathon win, work experience at an international startup as an AI engineer, and an Erasmus semester at a German university. Also mailed an ETH PhD student and started researching with him 2 months before the decision.

From KIT in Germany. 1.2 GPA (top 3%), no research experience, only one internship at a large company in germany. Okay LOR and SOP (Do not have any comaprison).

Accepted to direct doctorate program and will be taking the offer. Bachelor's from top 1 CS school in the US. I have two publications, one in a top conference in the field, and I believe good matching to my advisor and their research area led to my acceptance. Interviewed early February.

From a German university, but not a highly ranked one like TUM or KIT (QS around 450). TOEFL 106. Two letters of recommendation—one might be strong, but I’m not sure what "strong" means in this context. Research experience includes a research internship at MPI, one year as a TA, and one year working at a research institution. Started working in a lab this fall. My Statement of Purpose might have been good, but I have no real benchmark for comparison. Honestly, I didn’t expect to get in, especially after reading the rejections here. My grades are generally strong, but my transcript isn’t perfect—there’s a small note, more of a detail, that I thought might get me rejected. My worst grades (2.0 and 1.7) are in math-related subjects, so I was worried that might hurt my chances. Still a bit surprised, but I’m excited for the opportunity and will do my best!

Canadian student

350 in QS, GPA 9.5/10, Rank 2/50; summer internship at a Canadian uni, bachelor's thesis at CERN + American ivy, working as a research engineer full-time (since the past 6 months) at a London uni (top 10 QS); a lot of practical experience in theoretical CS (type theory, formal verification), scientific computing and HPC (maintaining open-source software, 2-3 software papers and conference proceedings, internships, work ex); strong SOP, strong LORs. Accepted for the Computational Science and Engineering program.

anyone from India got accepted?

9.15+ GPA at the time of application from a top IIT. Wanted to really attend this uni, and I think I had a very strong background to succeed here. Looks like the admission committee could not be convinced for whatever reason but I am convinced that I will be a great computer scientist one day.

Applied to DD rejected from Msc and DD both I don't know what they wanted from me from top 10 colleges in India 8.9/10, Two research internships with DRDO and ISRO, Worked as a UG Research scholar for over 2 years 4 Published research papers in area to which I applied too [One in Nature Yes Nature other in springer IEEE and Wiley] and two were under review already have 10 citations Extraordinary LOR's Maybe they wanted Nobel prize winners, Anyway I was going to reject because I would have to do master's with 5/6 to transfer to PhD from masters in DD program, I got accepted in Chinese Academy of Science PHD
