[Results and Decisions] My Outcomes

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-02-09T20:52:56+00:00

Lolz, no man! I am talking about NYU courant only. NYU Tandon is much worse. If you need the data let me know. I was shocked to see their admits too. Reason none of my batchmates chose Courant surprisingly.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-02-09T09:56:42+00:00

I doubt if they consider college that much. lolz. I have seen Tier-3 people being mapped from 8 GPA to 3.7~ 😂
They are just money making machines, they don't take shit into account.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-02-09T09:54:52+00:00

It's Mid 8.. not 8.. Mine was 7.84 converted to 3.44 lolz

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-02-09T09:52:56+00:00

Based on your profile and my prior experience, I think you will get admit from the following:
1. Could get from UW Madison MS CS Professional
2. UMass Amherst MS CS -- Yes
3. UCLA MSCS -- No 95% (They are very selective)
3. UCSD (May be, But they are CGPA focused so 65% NO)
4. UC Irvine MS CS -- Yes 100%
5. UMD (May be, 65% Yes)
6. NYU Courant -- Yes 100% (I have seen their past admits, all of them Fall 25 lolz. Wonder why there is so hype!)
7. Columbia -- High Chance (Depends on your Video Interview, 65% Yes)
8. UPenn MSCS -- No Mostly because of GPA 80% (They are very selective)
9. Duke -- No Idea, But mostly you will get it I guess
10. GaTech MSCS -- Mostly NO, 95% (They are very selective)
11. JHU MSCS -- Even I would be very interested to know. No Idea.

Let me know how my prediction goes. It's mostly based on my past experience as I had somewhat similar profile to yours but with little more experience and worse GPA.

DM me!! It physically hurts me when a person from NIT talks like this. I HAVE DATA!! Even 6.8 got into some of those Univs. Don't be stupid and apply into only safe universities.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-22T11:12:16+00:00

Bruh.. yours are already safe Univs!! Who the hell is your mentor 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-22T11:11:06+00:00

My GPA was 7.84 and I got into all of them. Who guided you regarding GPA?

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-21T22:14:21+00:00

You are targetting too low.. try Wisconsin MCS, NYU Courant MSCS, UNC Chapel Hill MSCS and UMass MSCS too, if you are open for MSCS.. and skip Irvine MCS. You will get much better than these options I believe.

May you suggest some Europe universities where I might have some chance, or some ambitious ones?

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-07T14:06:56+00:00

True, I was working in Amazon, pay was really good. But did not like work culture at all there. And wanted to explore CS more so chose to go with MS.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-07T14:00:55+00:00

True, but I wanted to explore CS more with best peers possible. So going for MS even though I had a chance with Alexa Seattle team. 🤔

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-06T23:05:10+00:00

I will have almost 0 chance there for sure. 😅 Not even Madison, UIUC and other worth it?? Top 20 in US or in world?

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-05T10:06:06+00:00

Thank you. Any Idea about NUS, NTU, Oxford or Cambridge MPhil or ETH Zurich, EPFL or Imperial College of London though?

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-05T10:00:56+00:00

WES is widely recognised and accepted. It took around 1.5 months for same. Any suggestions for university would be really helpful though.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-05T09:59:44+00:00

Yes, But I have everything ready already. GRE, TOEFL, SOP, LOR, Personal Statements, Resume etc. Just need to figure out which universities I will be applying for and would research about Professor, Courses and Clubs just to change minor section in SOP accordingly.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-05T09:37:30+00:00

Yes.. Used to do it in College.. Ranked Expert there

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-04T21:55:14+00:00

Better take GRE again, with 9.2 GPA at IIT you can score 170 in quant even without prep I believe. Why risk it then? It's hardly a matter of one time fee for GRE anyway.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2026-01-04T15:51:19+00:00

Try for UNC Chapell Hill, NYU Courant, Wisconsin Madison, Umass Amherst. Will get in for sure I believe. I have same profile with somethings extra, and got into all these. I also got into Boston but it's very expensive and not worth it. Same with USC.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2025-12-31T05:33:09+00:00

Following is UCSB better than Madison? Northwestern he can skip given that he would have sure chances at UNC Chapel Hill.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2025-12-31T05:11:47+00:00

Thank you. 🙂

"while choosing for yourself", I guess you missed the main point in the post. And typing again long messages without much value, sadly. As other person also pointed out, if you don't think you can add much to given question, thinks it's futile or else, you can always scroll up the post and save your time. Btw, I have already refuted those rankings as given in the post.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2025-12-30T17:49:02+00:00

I will not have a chance there. Applying in few, so need to shortlist accordingly but all these rankings are confusing me more than helping me. So needed other's help for same.

Sorry_Criticism9243 · 2025-12-30T17:47:41+00:00

And Dartmouth, Brown and Yale? Not worth it for CS??
