I open this thread for HCI field's 2021 Fall PhD Admission.
Let's share any updates such as interview offer, acceptances, rejections, or your specs (publications, GPA... etc).
Here's are my info:
- U of T CS
- CMU HCII
- UCLA ECE
- UC Berkeley EECS
- UW CSE
- MIT Media Lab
I didn't have any interviews and decisions from all of them. I saw my online portfolio visits from Berkeley and Cambridge (twice each of them).
My several questions:
- Are there cases to get acceptance without interview in HCI PhD admission?
- How common is it that applicants have publications? I heard that applicants should have at least 1~2 top-tier & first-author paper to get acceptance by top 1~20 schools.
