@snoq - I would consider the rest of us to be rejected. If not, it is a very very small chance (not worth keeping hopes). I have assumed a reject.

@thr0waway - were you on the admission committee?

@yoconman - funding info was available in the acceptance mail from the dept.

@superdominator - I'm torn between the two. I guess the decision will end up being based on daily convenience and logistics (I have a family, commute to wife's work etc)

I was not interviewed before. This is the first I heard from Stanford. I Dont think all admits are notified by call (my case had a unique reason)

I have applied to distributed systems with secondary interest as statistical learning

I got a call from a very famous prof (not mentioned as POI in application, but in my field of specialization) saying I'm admitted, and expect a mail with details tomorrow. So very likely all mails are coming out tomorrow.

Those who got in - what area/specialization have you applied?

@thissiteispoison - I'm hoping so too, but for now assuming it is a reject. Very unlikely beyond this point.

Me neither. Congrats to whoever received admits!

Yeah, looks like..

Has the application status changed for anybody? Mine is still "Submitted"..

So, will it be today?!

@rp15 go to MIT if you can for EE..

@rp15 that sounds very promising.. What group/area have you applied?

@rp15 which group have you applied to at Stanford? Were you interviewed by poi or ad com?

@superdominator machine learning + distributed systems. I have applied to amplab. Joe is awesome!

@superdominator - amplab is largely focused on big data. http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Areas/DBMS/- Mike Franklin and Joe are the best DB profs you could ask for in my opinion http://db.lcs.mit.edu/- Mike Stonebraker is a legend, but is adjunct. Not too familiar with Sam (I'm sure he is good). So it is 2 active profs vs 1 active prof.

@superdominator I would imagine you will have a great time at Berkeley then! Do you plan on attending visit day? What lab have you applied to?

@superdominator: i think you need to be a bit more specific. Berkeley is probably better in DB, distributed systems. However OS research is probably more active in MIT

I am an Indian international student (happens to be working in the US now). I'm waiting for most results as well (one admit so far).

I was wondering the same. Would appreciate if the interviewees posted the experience of the call.

I see email as well. I don't recall well, but I think it has always been email?

Has anybody heard when MIT cs results are expected? Looks like several univs have announced cs results a week earlier than last year.. MIT cs is next weekend going by last year?

Eh, I was only checking gradcafe search results, while my acceptance mail was waiting for me in my inbox for an hour!!
