Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

IR2 from mid tier IIT. 2 research internships (universities), one of them international. 1 conference paper (A) and 2 journals under submission. Best bachelors Thesis, ACM ICPC Regionals, SIH win. 1.5y work exp ~FAANG. CMU MSCS is extremely competitive, and they don't necessarily look for research so don't make yourself sound like a PhD candidate. Apply to MSML or MCDS which are easier to get in, or MSE if you have a weaker profile but definitely want to get in.

IR2 from mid tier IIT. 2 research internships (universities), one of them international. 1 conference paper (A) and 2 journals under submission. Best bachelors Thesis, ACM ICPC Regionals, SIH win. 1.5y work exp ~FAANG. Good research match for Systems and Networking. Definitely don't apply to terminal masters (MS only) - the meagre ~5 students they take in for this program are from UCB/Stanford/MIT undergrads, 0 from India. MS/PhD chances are also slim but there is at least a chance since they take ~20 in total.

IR2 from a mid tier IIT. 2 research internships in universities with one of them being international. 1.5 years of work experience ~FAANG. 1 conference paper (A) and 2 journals under submission, all first author. Systems and Networking background. Congrats to all other admits, looks like they only take a couple of Old IITans and an exceptional candidate from normal college in India.

[IGNORE THE WAITLIST] Guys, does anybody have info on CMU-MCDS? I'm thinking I should expect a reject now but haven't seen that many acceptances or any rejects on here? I was under the impression that CMU releases its accepts and rejects together so I'm very confused.
