chocker

The worst part of result page is it's existence. It wouldn't be possible to survive without those comments

another week is gone probably I am waiting for the batch rejections in batch ( from all of my schools together) .

same here. I couldn't work on anything since new year .

it really made me feel much better. I wasn't worried of the fact that I wont get in anywhere. I was worried that I wont get the spirit/energy to work on it another time. everyone dreams - but not everyone's dream come true. one who can take the failure survives. Kudos comrade !!!

should be moved to # 1

I will let you live buddy

after getting no response and wasting last one and half month by doing nothing except suffering from OCD checking email - mail box - website logs - forums - I have decided to make the final cut. It's painful. So why not discarding the idea of doing phd ? bye bye phd

that's a good link. Thank you mallu !!

P ( ... at least one acceptance ... | you are rejected by your safety school ) = 0

For ECE there is a dedicated person "Scott" to answer all these query. I guess there is one for CS also. Can you check in the website ?

few days ago my thoughts were "why I am not even getting a decision, doesn't matter if it's a rejection" Now when I see that 7/10 schools haven given their decisions, I am scared of getting those rejections.

thats what I am doing

looks like you are on a safe boat. Unless everything goes wrong you are in.

yah. That's what my positive side tends to think. On the other hand, if I look at the 2009 rejections I find rejections are given in successive weeks. Damn !! its a nasty mind game. haha

waiting for the inevitable

I would put two things in my list before making any decisions: 1) visit the place 2) talk to potential advisers and current students

people -- come on post here lucky thread

previous years results show 3'rd week of February is the time. I didn't see many acceptance or rejection from Princeton CS. It made me think they have a small department and intake rate is very low. ( probably like jhu)

if you have a RA then it might be tough. if you are TA or fellowship or self finance then be this might not be hard.

So Cornell ECE started early punching.

fly away

yah. How long do I wait? already lost all of my hope.

A standard health insurance is provided if you have an assistant ship ( TA or RA )

Yes !! if it is a definite reject then it's better to get it as soon as possible. I want to move on.
