Any info on Penn/Columbia CS PhD Acceptance Rates?

Computer Sciences

Does anyone know the accept rate for Penn and for Columbia’s CS PhD programs for recent years (particularly for the past cycle)?

Most T20 CS PhD have ~10% acceptance rate. T10s have slightly lower rate (5~10%).

But these "acceptance rate" for CS PhDs are really meaningless because there are just too many variances and factors. Especially, the acceptance rate the school post online is representing that of ALL CS domains averaged out, so if you are applying to AI/ML/CV/NLP, the actual admit will be significantly more difficult.
