Hi there!
 
It might sound a little stupid to make decision based on rankings. However, apart from the research area, rankings still might be one of the many factors that we will be looking into. For Computer Science, what rankings are reliable? US News or NRC? (or are there others?)
 
For top-5, there is not much difference, however for others, the rankings vary with a wide gap.
 
Thoughts please.
 
 
 
 

baah! UT-Austin application was bizzare for me too. Now I am no longer sure if I really submitted the CS department application.   How do I know? There are some 2-3 acknowledgement mails though but none saying that I submitted to CS ..baah baah baah

Hi there,
 
I have applied for Computer Science Ph.D for fall 2013 in UTexas Austin. I am an international candidate. From the results search I see that 1st rounds of admits have gone by. My status is still something like in review. I am guessing it to mean (1) waitlisted or (2) rejected but will be notified a little later.
 
So the question is : those who received admits,
 
 
(1) Can you let me know the date by which you are supposed to accept the offer? (Rice has Apr 15)
 
(2) Also, appx the amount offered as fellowship during the first 9 months?
 
 
Thanks!
