“Thank you for applying to the Computer Science Master's Program at Stanford University. The MS Admissions Committee has reviewed your application and I am sorry to inform you that the committee did not recommend you for admission.”
Hm… I received an extremely high score on my GRE exam, had very good letters of recommendation from a diverse set of respectable people, and my application is very solid in nearly all aspects and exemplifies a lot of qualities that I deem Stanford to be interested in. So, yes, I am perplexed at my rejection.
However, since I am determined to start my master’s degree this year, I will continue to pursue this goal, and will meet with Stanford to find out why my application is rejected and appeal the rejection.
