At least I get to post something instead of just watching :D! MS in CS from top 10 univ, three strong (I think) and 1 OK LORs. 2 publications under review (1 first author). Interest in Pattern Recognition and Vision. Template rejection letter (I see parts of it in posts below). Dejecting start to the season.

Decent GPA, near perfect GRE

I hate you Lindsay. 2 Papers, excellent GPA

Undergrad topper, 2 papers (second author), strong LoRs, 2+ years R & D experience in area of interest.

Two publications.

GPA 4.0/4.0 Research Experience.

BS in math, BA in compsci, linguistics concentration. Weird academic history (lots of college, then did those majors in 2 years after I would have graduated). Strong SOP, 2 strong and 1 weak LOR. 1 summer and 1 semester research experience at my school, but the research was in a different subfield than what I applied for. 3.9 in-major GPAs, but have an outstanding failed course which was not addressed by the time of application. Female. Honestly the department wasn't a great choice for me. I applied because my advisor said that if I went here, I can become a professor pretty much anywhere (similar to if I went to UCB, Stanford, MIT, or CMU). But the fit was pretty forced, and I think that came across in my application!
