Graduate School Admission Results

CMT. No GRE. No publication

An insider source at Cal Arts has shown me the schedule for the first round of interviews for the Performer-Composer DMA program. 5 auditions/interviews/teaching blocks have been allocated for 5 semi-finalists. I believe there are going to be more rounds of interviews. Was not selected for the first round of interviews, but have not received a rejection statement yet.

BITS Pilani, non-cs with 6 month research experience but no pubs. Was a very ambitious choice so no hard feelings.

Reached out to check on status knowing that one interview day was completed. Received very kind email responses from the two advisors I applied to work with. Bummed, but that's how it rolls. I'm graduating with my Masters in Psych Research this Spring, multiple presentations at national/international conferences, 2 years of various clinical experiences.

No pubs, Undergrad GPA was US equivalent of 3.0/4.0 (Mentioned GPA is Master's GPA). 6 month research internship, 1 yr RA in master's school (in USA). Wasn't expecting an admit anyway.

Got an email to check the portal.

No interview

Wasn't expecting that much but had an interview with PoI.

Got an email from the program director. No funding so we shall see what happens... (Grad GPA) 1a/0w/3r

I saw that acceptances were out this morning, so I solicited. GPA is grad.

ıelts 7, ee master with gpa 3.79 from top uni in my country, 4 paper ( wacv, eccv w,spie, and siu-local), undergrad ee valedictorian from third best uni in my country. I do not understand how competetive this programs are. I think they expect us to write paper on top tier conference for admittance.
