Computer Science, Columbia University Rejected from PhD, offered consideration for MS after video interview. Was pretty flustered for the video interview and feel like I did not do well. My stats - Honors in EECS from top 5 US school, GRE 170Q/167V/5.5W, 6 years software engineering and startup experience in POI's research area but no publications & all LORs from industry. Rejected everywhere this year, should have applied to some safer schools. Congrats everyone that got in.

Computer Science, Columbia University Had the option to apply for a Master's, I didn't indicate any interest in doing that on my application though. Took them long enough!

Computer Science, Columbia University TTPB. No, if I open the e-form, I simply need to say I am interested in the MS and that I understand that I will have to participate in the video interview. Pretty simple I guess--no extra fees.

Computer Science, Columbia University TTPB I think I applied PhD and then stated that I would be interested in MS if I didn't get the PhD. But, I thought I would be automatically considered for the MS, not have to fill out another application. At this point, I'm not interested b/c of a better offer.

Computer Science, Columbia University (Fu Foundation) Gave an interview in Jan with non POI. Got rejection today. There is an option to apply for MS though, is the acceptance rolling based?

Computer Science, Columbia University I also got the option to apply for a Masters. TTPB, if I didn't have a better offer I would probably do it. I think this is what they're offering to the candidates they would have taken as PhDs if this wasn't such a brutal year (so many reasons why there aren't the normal amount of spaces). Maybe MS would transition to PhD next year?? Anyway, good luck to all.

Computer Science, Columbia University Applied to the MS/PhD track, got a rejection. I was asked to fill out a form to apply to the MS track alone. Is there any point applying now considering so many MS admits have already been given out?
