Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

MS CS; Specialization: AI

Yesssss! Good luck to others

Finally accepted! Phew! Been one hell of a ride.

Hello there I think carleton reject everyone this year in Ms.cs my profile is 9.45 CGPA (GTU), 7 IELTS, Goggle DSC core member at college, 3 hackathons, 2 internships and rejected on sunday 25th late night it was mass rejection bcz in university group almot 40,50 people got rejection.

Is there any point holding out for news now?

[Not WL] I am also waiting for the admission results. Glad to see I'm not the only one... Hang in there guys...

Seriously? It's well past April 15 and absolutely no communication whatsoever

TTPB: I got my acceptance in March but I know many people that haven't heard anything yet. Last year Columbia sent out a few acceptances as late as June and then mass rejections shortly after that.

Is there anyone that doesn't hear any responses from the school? I didn't get anything new at all including the msg of delaying their review or interview since I submitted my application...

Update pending. Looks like mass rejects now.

Applied to the MS/Ph.D. program. Status changed to update pending.

Fully funded! Really generous amount of money (~50k/yr for international students like me). For those who applied for funding and are still waiting, don't lose your hope yet! I was told that every CS PhD at Cam has some kind of funding because CL along with most PIs are really rich. This is quite surprising as Oxford told me earlier they are having tough years that a large portion of their PhD students don't have any funding at all. I imagined Cambridge to be the same but turns out to be the opposite.

TTPB: That's what I'm assuming. Considering they accept 20-40 MSCS applicants per year and how bizarre this year's cycle has been, I strongly feel that they're done accepting people who had UCSB as a safety and have better offers.

Okay seriously where are decisions.... May 1st is in under a week. Should we just assume that we were rejected if we haven't heard anything?

IIT guy colleges dont have an agenda against certain applicants. If your profile is good enough to catch the attention of some staff at the university you have a higher chance of getting in. They really couldn't care less if you came from an IIT or some no name college. So take your saltiness somewhere else.

Just because a university is ranked 650th in the world, it doesn't mean it accepts students from only Tier-4 and Tier-5 universities. The fact that you got rejected and blatantly wrote that it does, shows the kind of superiority complex that you have in your head. Moreover, if you were to share your profile, there are ways to do it and contribute without being obnoxious and using curse words. I just suggested that rather than blaming any university or the competition itself, maybe you should find ways to introspect and maybe even improve your profile. And this is applicable not just for you, but for everyone. Maybe do a RA, work on getting a recommendation from a top professor, and possibly some good research experience. Also, I believe that Canadian universities are notorious for filtering candidates just based on their GPA and English scores sometimes, so you might want to highlight your low GPA in the SOP explicitly so that the admission committee understands the reason. Also, I only suggested that you might be getting wrong advice regarding the importance of extra-curricular when applying to these universities and might have gone overboard with them in your SOP. Extra-curriculars work mostly for American/Canadian students and that too when they're applying for the Bachelor's degree as the decisions are purely rolled by the "Academic Staff" and not the "Admissions Committee" as there are fewer parameters to evaluate from. I think you will find plenty of examples highlighting the difference between the two. It's okay to be frustrated, but not okay to humiliate any university. Moreover, I didn't mean to be condescending, but rather just suggested some ways in which anyone can present their profile better (highlight key strengths, cover weaknesses) and also try and improve their profile. I apologize if I may have hurt you in any way as that was not my intention. Moreover, I didn't call you a Loser, someone else did, my post was the one after the "Loser" post. This year was tough for sure, but if you could crack JEE where the odds were 0.1%, you can crack these universities as well. All the best!

There is no faculty member available in the Department of Computer Science to supervise your proposed graduate program. Therefore, it is not possible to offer you admission.
