KTH Royal Institute of Technology Machine Learning Graduate School Admission Results

Will reject it

Have other offers from USC and UMTC (data science), but will mostly go for this in Sweden.

Will most likely decline as I have offers from better places, but not sure.

I missed uploading a single document so my application was just deleted. Uploading it after they notified did not help.

Computer Simulations for Science and Engineering track - bachelor's from an Indian uni in CS and Math, top 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 computational science and HPC (maintaining open-source software, 2-3 software papers and conference proceedings, internships, work ex); strong SOP, strong LORs - I honestly don't know what else do they want (was accepted for ETH's CSE program)

"You do not meet the requirements for the course/program" - hate this rejection reason, especially when I have a 4 year CS degree, but I guess the ECTS conversion messed things up - bachelor's from an Indian uni in CS and Math, top 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 programming languages and HPC (maintaining open-source software, 2-3 software papers and conference proceedings, internships, work ex); strong SOP, strong LORs.

Wait list no. 14. 49 people got in.

Got admitted. I was not expecting this.

KTH one semester exchange, GPA 4.375/5.0, one publication under review, one publication to be submitted to a top journal when applying to scholarship, one LOR from KTH professor, quite unexpected

Recv an email saying that I've been awarded a KTH Scholarship. However the status on the portal is still "in progress".

Undergrad in electronics engineering from top engineering university in Spain, top of my class with honours in most courses. Had a research internship at my university as well as one internship at a private company, although unrelated to the masters. Doing my bachelor thesis in deep learning, and I applied for the specialization of Mathematics of Data Science.

I guess the main reason why I got through, was that I did my final-year project under a Nordita prof, and also had him write a LOR for me. I had also done two research internships in Germany (on-site) and Canada (remote). Didn't get any scholarship tho!
