Wondering this as well, haven't seen any PhD acceptances in the results.

In my opinion, research fit with your POI is far and away the most relevant criteria. I would go with Michigan, it sounds like you're leaning that way already.

Was your rejection from NYU from Courant (GSAS) or Tandon?

I got that email as well. I only mentioned one faculty member in my statement of purpose.

Thanks for the feedback, @pterosaur !

To provide a bit more information, I go to Arizona State University (so no public ivy). The C+ in calc 3 was first semester freshman year where I already knew most of the material from high school so I stopped studying/going to class but I didn't know the last section and didn't study enough in time. The complex analysis class was a dumb non-proof-based class, so I didn't prioritize it highly. As for total GPA, other low grades came almost exclusively from business classes and pre-requisites (marketing, management, etc.) Not sure if that helps, but thought I would mention.

Thanks, do you think I should shift my list down or up?

I'm also considering Oregon State, Northeastern, ASU, and Boston University

How about Cornell, UT Austin, Penn State and Yale? What schools did you end up getting into and would recommend for me as safeties? I'm specifically focused on machine learning research.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I'm currently a senior and would love to get some feedback on what schools I should be aiming for.

Would appreciate any advice.
