  1. There are no schools called safety. I am admitted to schools in top 20/30 ranked but rejected from 70/80 ranked ones. I thought the lower ranked ones are safety schools but mmm no. I learnt that many things are involved in the admission processes and this is why I am rejected from them. Never think, there is a safety school, I'd recommend.
  2. got my second acceptance (and i was waiting for it soo long) while doing a robot in lab, which can sexually harrass the opponent robot. yes the robot gets behind the opponent other robot and touches it. well my department says they wrestle... but ummm.. idk maybe i am the only one thinks like that. maybe i have a dirty mind. but it did not keep me asking to professor: "could we trap the opponent on the corner of the playground and keep pushing it from behind periodically to get tons of points?" i was so naive to ask such a question..they all laughed, including the professor. i guess you all have dirty minds. btw i only said "heh i am admitted...cool!" maybe i used all my credit for first acceptance by going crazy. i am gonna write a book called "robots can make love"
  3. I got 5 interviews so far; I would recommend, try to be relax as much as possible. The tension you may have may significantly affect your conversation with him/her. If you are really stressed out like me, I'd recommend a shot of whiskey Try to be yourself, I am sure you are going to reply them since they have seen such a spark in you, they wanted to make an interview. I am not sure how things are going on in Psyc/Human Dev interviews, but i believe they are almost same in base. Instead of testing my skills or abilities, most of the time they asked me what did I do and what I want to do, what's my research interest. And always smile during the interview whether the video is on or not. They sense that!
  4. I guess you need help Just relax, drink some and have fun with friends, or try to focus on something (like puzzle or something) so you might be distracted. but whatever you do I guess you need to relax for a while since you see such nightmares
  5. I am admitted to GaTech and UT Austin, anybody heard from CMU? BTW How much stipend did they offer you guys? Especially I wonder GaTech and UT Austin?
  6. just happened to me. admitted to the higher ranked schools, rejected by lower ranked ones.
  7. yes it is really frustrating when you pay 170$ (normally it is $70 but due to their mistake in semester period i paid $100 before and they asked me to pay correct $70 again). anyway i paid that much money in 10/2013 and finished everything. it has been 4 months and nothing!!! i am really angry, frustrated and disappointed since i was expecting an acceptance... i guess it is just life...
  8. Anybody else heard from the department?
  9. Applied to 9 schools, admitted 3, no heard 4, rejected 1, interviewed 1. I would also have applied 2 more schools, which are better. I definitely regret that after I am admitted to the schools easily...
  10. i got rejection today(first rejection after two admission) after asking to them about the process. the poi told me at most 50 students will be accepted and i couldnt make it. so good luck to you all
  11. i was sleeping like a dead person due to flu and got the sound of mail on phone and woke up, then i went crazy running through corridors in the home
  12. same here. the poi told me he will be in touch very soon. by very soon what does he mean idk, it has been more than 2 weeks.. it is really stressful.
  13. Hey, I just want to hear ideas about my situation. I have met a professor two years ago and we had good connections so far. I attended two seminars of him and also while I was in a lab, he joined in our lab for a week or so. My 2 of 3 LORs are very close friend of him and I thought I had good chance to be accepted by him to his lab. Throughout the application process we have mailed back and forth, even he asked me make a presentation about my ideas and I did and he told me he liked them a lot.And my recommenders asked him to accept me as well. Lately I started to worry about the admission since it has been more than a month in silence. Should I ask him or should I wait for more? I am stressed out... If you were in this situation,what would you do? I do not want to be seen as the person forcing the situation and also my LORs have already spoken to him. I started to say, well... okay.. i guess it is an rejection.. Second thing is, not related to the first question,what you think about asking the status to the professor after getting the interview? it has been more than two weeks and I havent heard anything from him or the school itself. Thanks for your ideas!
