Application for UCL MSc Machine Learning

Hey! I am currently in the application process for MSc Machine Learning at UCL. I applied way back in December and still no response. I assume I'm in some sort of purgatory with them waiting to see if anyone better will come along.

Would love to know if other people are in the same scenario, and if possible a bit about your application.

Hey!
I have received an offer for DSML on 22nd March. I submitted the application in the first week of November. I believe by this week you may receive a decision. There are many people who haven't received a decision I believe so all the best! (Ik the wait is stressful)
Have you applied to some other unis as well?

Btw there is a forum on UCL Postgraduate Applicants here. You can join that as well.
Thank you 😄 Congratulations for St. Andrews!!!😊
Yes, I applied to 5-6 unis more like Imperial, Edinburgh, Oxford, Kings. Got offers from everywhere except Oxford. Have an offer from Imperial MSc Stats (Data Science). I am confused between UCL and ICL atm. I am currently in my final year for an honours in Mathematics.

Anyone still waiting for an ML reposnse?
It's crazy to me that I applied early February and only received one email in 5 months of waiting.... I thought my cv was somewhat strong but clearly not.
If anyone is still waiting could you please share a bit of your background and the date of your application?

I am waiting for a response for DSML course.
Little bit about my background:
I am from India
8/10 GPA for my bachelors degree
During my bachelors, did 2 internships: DS research intern at IIT-Roorkee(a highly reputed institute in India) and DS intern at another company.
Currently working as a data engineer at KPMG India with almost 2 yrs of experience.

Got 1 mail from UCL on May 31 stating that they(UCL) have received a high number of applications this year and they wont be able to give me a decision for my application for the next 2 weeks.

What about you?

Hi! Was just wondering what everyone's background is for the accepted MSc applications? I'd love to do it, but I got a low 2:1 this year (second year) and a high 2:2 last year so doubting whether or not I'll get the place. For reference I do maths and stats at LSE

Hey sorry I am just getting back to you now. I am still waiting. I have a bachelor's in physics with a first from Queen Mary University and almost 2 year experience in data analysis. I'm just wondering why I am waiting for more than 6 months.

I would be happy with a rejection at this point. I just can't wait anymore.

Hey am currently doing cs at MMU, and want to di computer science master at UCL , I got first-class degree, and some side project plus work experience, do they will accept me or they want students from top universities.
I am a-bit frustrated with me due to MMU is not that good, and I feel like top unis will not accept me if I did undergrad from MMU.

Hi!
Sorry for replying so late 😅
That's great, MSc CS at UCL is a good option. Coming to your question, I myself come from a ~300 ranked University in India in the QS World Ranking. So it doesn't matter much what's the ranking of the uni, they are gauging your profile and not your uni's. Ofc it doesn't hurt (and definitely can increase your chances) to be from a top ranked uni, but as per my experience (I got accepted to all the unis i applied to, applied to only top 15 unis as per QS) it doesn't matter much. They care about your experience, grades and given you have done side projects along with work experience, I don't have a doubt in my mind that you are a strong candidate.
