It seems like the Stanford Masters program is also extremely competitive this year, from the profile of the people who got rejected and posted on the "Results Search" section.
For example:
1) Everyone said don't worry I'd get in.. what am I going to do know? 3.91 800/600 2 internships at MS
2) I have off the wall stats, come from a top 5 inst. how could this have happened? GPA 3.92 GRE 800/720/5.0 with 3 internships Apple, eBay, and Amazon and 2 yrs of research, but no papers published
3) What more could I have done? I gave it my all and that wasn't good enough. Stanford you will miss me, I guarantee it! 3.88 GPA 800/670/4.5, 3 good letter of recs, 2 internships at research labs at UCB
4) Top 15 school - 3.9 800/590/5.0 and I didn't get in, was it really that hard this year? I guess I'll apply again next year... worked so hard these 4 years to get into Stanford =(
5) I can't believe I didn't get in ='( Stanford was my dream school.. I had 1 journal entry and 3 top notch recs plus 2 internships at MS and Facebook
I knew that Stanford CS Masters program is hard, but never thought that it is this hard. Can the people who got in this year share their profile?
