Graduate School Admission Results

Applied on Dec. 1 of 2020 and received the decision today- it took soo long to send their decision.

Applied jan 12 with software engineering internship, fresh out of undergrad

TTPB: Did you really get waitlisted? I have not received any news and in the portal my status is still "In Review".

To Mr/Mrs. 9.3/6 . I'm guessing you're from India since you rated your GPA out of a 10 point scale and had to write the IELTS. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Admissions committees in the US, especially in professional, non-thesis programs really do not care about how high your GPA is as long as your grades are good enough to inspire confidence that you can succeed in their program. It's great that you worked hard and achieved academic success, but being condescending to people who were admitted(because their applications were clearly better than yours) is very childish. I know that this condescension is especially a problem in India because people with 9 cgpas feel entitled to acceptances from the best colleges in the world. You probably fell short on your essay, research or extracurriculars or they probably felt that your overall profile wasn't a good fit for them. Take your bitterness and turn it into something productive. You literally got into NYU and CMU, I don't understand why you feel the need to be so damn negative.

Finally!!! The wait was insane. Applied just before final deadline in January. ~3.5 from large state school in ~top 10 CS programs, internship. Signed up for DEN@Viterbi.

I had been waitlisted previously. Just got the official rejection email.

Ignore WL. TTPB, same haha. I'd have easily picked this program over the others I got into but at this point I'm planning to head to CMU MISM-BIDA if they don't let me know in another few days. Funnily, I was waitlisted for Columbia DS last year and my application is much better this year, so it kinda sucks that I haven't even been put on a waitlist yet.Also, I've been waitlisted at NYU lol so it's pretty sucky to narrowly miss acceptances at both schools. It is my fault though. I attended a very good engineering undergrad program(top 3), but my grades are simply not up to par in the important courses(A mixture of B's and B+'s and a few A-'s). Now I kinda wish I'd attended a less prestigious undergrad program and gotten straight A's there- seems like people who did well in less prestigious undergrad schools are getting in pretty easily.

Received an email on 5/2 saying they do not anticipate any more slots opening up for those on the waitlist. More gentle rejection :)

2 EE Internships, Strong Recs. Accepted to NEU/BU/Irvine. Keep your heads up! Good luck to those admitted!

Don't consider waitlisted. When can we expect decision for computer engineering from ECE?

Email to check online portal. Denied online.

Declined my offer because I got into my #1 choice program at McGill. Goodluck to everyone!
