yaman

today, I am officially rejected

I am still waiting like you but not the same universities Maryland College Park, UCSB (ECE) UCLA, UC Irvine and UIUC (CS) Louisville: waiting for funding

For me I many mistakes, but the best two was: writing my birthday wrong as it's November 12 And in my country we usually write the day first, and in the application it was the month at first And I didn't know why didn't they match my application with my transcripts till I figured out this mistake the second one was while sending the TOEFL score I have finished my application one month before the deadline and sent my scores, but they usually take sometime to update the online system So, I didn't care about not updating my status Till I found after the deadline that I have sent the score to a wrong institution in the same city with a similar name

I had a small chat with a Professor at UMD CS last December and he told me that all PhD students get 2 years TAship in the beginning (so I think it might be beside the fellowship for some applicants)

For me, I can not even contact the POI. I have a friend in UCLA already and he couldn't reach this professor. So, I don't expect too much but I don't want to lose hope

I was asking about the status in the graduate admission facebook page And I got the following reply: "Thank you for your continued interest in UCLA. We hope to email admission announcements to all Ph.D. applicants February 1-28 and to all M.S. applicants March 1-31. Thank you very much for your patience and assistance." and then they announced at the page the same thing: https://www.facebook.com/notes/ucla-computer-science-department-graduate-admissions-page/admission-decision-announcements/1533266023564690

I think what really counts is how your experience related to the field and projects of interest (wheather it's industry or academic) otherwise, I think any experience will add small contributions into your application.

I received an email stating that I have been recommended for admission from the international center. So, I think that the action meant that It was delayed till the international center decides.

Hello everyone, I have PhD application in the university of Louisville, in EE program, But, I have something in my application status that I don't understand I found the following : Program Action Defer Decision Action Rsn Referred to International Cntr I don't understand what does this mean, and I didn't take any action can anyone help ? thanks, Mostafa
