Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

Got an email about admit to the MCS program. Safe university but first acceptance of season so feels good!

Interview request from POI. Undergrad in CS from a decent university.

Interviewed by one POI listed in my application

Tier 1: Non-IIT; GPA: 7.5; Undergrad in Non-CS branch MCS; 3 years of work experience;

Canadian. Previously worked with POI and received unofficial acceptance, was told I would get a letter in a few weeks.

Reached out by the POI mentioned in my SOP. Talked with her last year and was invited to her lab meeting. Background: "Interesting" undergraduate studies (I guess haha), no publication, a few research experiences in multiple areas, lots of work experience.

Email from POI asking for 20 min interview.

PL, CSE, silent admit (check your portal!). Interview scheduled for later...

Email. Standard. They asked for only 1 LoR, transcript (Bachelor's in CS, GPA: 3.05/4, top Indian uni), resume and TOEFL. 3 years work ex as Data Scientist at startup. I had 333/340 on GRE and 2 other strong recos, along with a decent SoP - they never came into play.

Invited for Quick chat with POI, spoke about interesting research projects, my background, and any questions I had about his lab. No GRE, some research experience in Machine Learning, few undergrad internships. One of my top choices!

casual, with POI

Admitted for SE/FM
