Data Science Graduate School Admission Results

Got an email to check the portal (classic for a rejection). I knew it because acceptances were sent on 12/13 February, so "as expected." Usually, they send rejections 10 days later, but this time they took 3-4 days more. Anyways, best of luck to those accepted!

An email telling me to check the portal.

Well, Duh...

just checked it. although expected, disappointed: After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2021-2022 academic year. I know that this decision comes as a disappointment. Unfortunately, enrollment of new students is limited to a small fraction of those who are qualified for admission. I want to assure you that your application received full consideration by faculty members in the program to which you applied. We appreciate your interest in the Graduate School and wish you success in your future studies. With best wishes,

First Class Math & Stats degree from one of the G5, 1+ year in the industry as a data analyst with projects and experiences in machine learning. Always heard that GPA matters a lot to them but didn't expect to this extent..

When will the results be out?

CS undergrad at a Chinese university. The rejection letter (PDF on portal) said the following: "Thank you very much for having applied to our University. We regret to inform you that your application to the Data Science MSc programme at ETH Zurich has not been successful. Attendance of this Master's degree programme presupposes basic and subject-specific knowledge and competences (discipline requirements profile). A very good performance in the preceding degree programme is also required. An examination of your dossier by the Admissions Committee of the degree programme indicates that your performance does not sufficiently fulfil the criteria set out in the discipline requirements profile." I think it could be because my background and finished courses don't sufficiently match the requirements of data science (my research experience is in computer systems). Best of luck to others.

CS student from top private university in India. Working as a quant since 1.5 years. Research intern at top Singapore university.

TTPB: My family name starts with Z, so in case they start from A and end at Z, I think they should have finished in publishing results.

TTPB: Could you please share the first letter of your family name, so that we know where the committee is at? Thank you
