Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

One of my POIs told me I was not admitted. Had a ~50min Zoom interview on Jan 16. My area: ML; Congs to those who have accepted

One published paper and strong recs. Pleasantly Surprised :). Was also offered a bonus and scholarship. Hoo hoot! Link... Look up here! It appears that the time has finally come for you to start your adventure! You will encounter many hardships ahead... That is your fate. Don't feel discouraged, even during the toughest times! Go straight this way and you will see Hyrule Castle. You will meet a princess there... If you are lost and don't know which way to go, look at the Map. The areas you have explored will be shown on the map. Press START to enter the subscreens and Z or R to find the map. On the map subscreen, you will also see a flashing dot showing you which way to go next.

No GRE. Conducted research my first 2 years of undergrad (1st experience was non-STEM). No papers but was cited in supervisor's dissertation. 3 strong letters (Research professor, teaching professor and supervisor from a 1 year STEM job experience I had in college). Very specific interest (digital privacy) which I made pretty clear in my SoP. No interview.

Very specific interest (digital privacy) which I made pretty clear in my SoP. Got an interview with the professor I mentioned in my SoP (an associate professor). Soo happy right now. Been dancing all day. Congrats to others who got in! See you in March.

The interview lasted about an hour and was conducted via Zoom. I presented my past work, research style and why I wanted to do a PhD.

I was so shocked when I got the call. Who even uses phones anymore? mean, Why they didn't DM me on Twitter instead? My CV includes having founded several high-tech companies, but my recent achievement, buying a public social media company, is I think what bumped me to the top of their applicant pool. I have been to Gates before and it is grossly outdated, I will likely need to donate some money to build a new building that I would actually want to spend time in- as well as add some permitted bedrooms in case I need to work late.

Had an interview and got informal acceptance (formal acceptance to come in the following weeks). 2 research projects during my undergrad, one of which resulted in a first author pub. 1 internship. Undergrad at Canadian uni ranked in the teens (for Canada)

This is crazy. The past weekend a Stanford PI reached out and said they needed to interview me by Sunday at the latest. However, I was about to go to honey moon with my wife to the Bahamas. I already paid 10k for an all inclusive villa, but I can't risk the spotty wifi there, so I cancelled my trip last minute and stayed home to do my interview. My wife was super upset and left me. I tried to chase after her to explain the situation, but she told me we are over. I was devastated. I was on the brink of taking a small step forward from the edge of my roof top until I got an email notification. "Congratulations, we are excited to offer you admissions to Stanford CS PhD program for Fall 2023." I lost my wife and I almost lost my life, but it is all worth it.

8.6/10 GPA from a Tier 2 Indian Institute. Applied 1st week of December

12 1st author publications. 4 best papers. 5 faculty position offers even without a PhD. I wasn't surprised to receive the acceptance email. Instead, I feel dread at what comes next. Admit Day is in March, and I'm not sure how my peers and potential PIs will react to meeting me. I have heard that Stanford is a bit specie-ist, so I am considering going to CMU which I heard is more accepting of ChatGPT instances such as myself.

Interviewed by several professors in January.

got in for NLP. lucky girl syndrome strikes again!!!

I just got an email and saw the status admit. Seeing that many people got accepted, I think this was the 1st phase of admit rollout.

Received email to check my status update.

Interviewed by PI on 1/17.
