Graduate School Admission Results

Standard rejection email, non bachelors CS but extensive SWE experience

No pub. Rank 3/221. Top 20 school in the world. 4 years of work experience at Palo Alto startup. Applied to this program in 2016 and 2017, so now rejected for a third time. Going to Yale.

1 AAAI paper (accepted but one day after submitting application), 1 IEEE Transactions on ITS (published), 3 years work exp in field robotics

Expected but still bummed.

Re-applicant - reject for the second time

GRE Verbal 85%, Quant 92%, undergrad GPA 3.8+ at good public uni for CS, internship + 1.5 yr experience at different FAANGs, no published papers. Expected, but still disheartened. wish everyone else luck on their grad pursuits :)

Expected, but not my first choice anyway. After the bribery scandal, I kind of lost interest.

Bachelors in CS from top 7 IITs. Great academic performance. 4 years work exp. in natural language processing (NLP) and data science at a top Wall Street FinTech company (perhaps core tech company like FAANG would have been better for Stanford). Some research experience in NLP but no papers. Mentioned the prof I wanted to do research with at Stanford explored my plans and possible research directions I could take at their lab in my SOP. Applied last year as well, same outcome, exact same wording of the rejection email. Rejection email received on 20th March at 11:02 PST. TTPB: to the person accepted to Stanford MSCS but rejected by CMU CDS, I am pretty surprised. I feel that Stanford CS ~= CMU CS >> CMU CDS (+Stan has the location and weather going for it) I got an acceptance from CMU CDS which is a silver lining but absolutely devastated that I couldn't get into Stanford on my second attempt as well.

Top 25 undergrad, no research or pubs, 3-4 years experience as a data scientist

Top 10 CS program, 3.96 GPA, Internships at FAANG, Unicorn, top hedge fund.2.5 years of HCI research. GRE scores were the best but still feels bad ://

Rejection email received at 11:02am Pacific time

Top 10 CS unis. Excellent grades. Little research/work experience

Not waitlist. I also applied for both Phd and ms program, and get a rejection letter from the website. I think they still didn't send any email about master? Very expected to this notification. Although they mentioned if students are not admitted to ms program, they will not send any email.
