  1. go to Stanford bro... it is the best place for studying in computer science... Columbia and CMU INI is not comparable
  2. when you got that high, ranking is not so much important. If the school you are thinkg about is really so strong( i.e. MIT, Stanford) you should definitely choose these schools. Otherwise, I think schools differ within 5 in ranking are comparable. POIs might matter more.
  3. What do you mean? List all the schools that have professor working in specific areas? I don't think there is such list. When I applied, I first find the list of top 40 university (in computer science area) and then read their website one by one. I then made myself a list in excell to record the schools and the professors who works in my intersted area. You can als try google. My interested area is algorithmic game theory, and I googled " cmu algorithmic game theory" and some names will appear. But this method will not find all the possible POI, you still need to read the faculty list.
  4. Well, first of all you should know that every professor is different. So you might see lots of successful experience in the forum, but there are far more failling experience, which are not posted. If the professor is very active in recruiting students then contacting professor usually works, because they do need students.There are also professors who are also actively recruiting for students but they still wait after decissions are made. And the others don't even care about your contacting. And I think your POI is type 2. What he told you means that he want to wait for the result of your admission. And I feel that he is telling you that contacting him more won't help. It might because decissions are made by committee, and he can just give them some input about you. In fact, the decissions in most of top schools are made by committee. Contacting professor can help you get noticed but cannot give those people who are no eligible admissions. So don't push so hard. I don't think keep contacting him will help. Believe in yourself! Good luck!
  5. Definitely GaTech If you want to work directly after graduation, then both programs are good enough to get you a job. If you want to continue a PhD, then GaTech MS seems to be a better choice.
  6. USC : give out the fellowship, haven't seen any TAShip and RAShip Columbia: not sure NYU: nearly nothing these are what I am still waiting for for final decision. It really takes a long time..... Even slower than last year
  7. I think emailing the department is fine but don't email POI.
  8. I will go to UIUC so I will probably withdraw the admission lately.
  9. Which area are you working on ?
  10. Some admission may come out next few weeks.
  11. I have a similar question(though not the ms in top1 school) What I heard is that if you apply again after getting your master degree, they will expect more from you. For example, if you go to CMU and study for 1 to 2 year, then they will expect you to have a number of pub on tier 1 conference. You will need to show your research ability in the program. On the other hand, studying in CMU may provides you some chance to cooperate with excellent professor, which may get you a strong letter of recommendation. And also a strong experience in research. I think these do help you when applying for top-tier program. And by the way, I also heard that in master in ML department and CS department have RAShip opportunity after one to two semesters.
  12. I got similar question. How about PhD Program in UC, Santa Barbara and master program in UIUC. I do want to get a PhD and in UIUC, student in MS program can transfer into PhD. And both of the program provides TAShip so money is not a big problem. I am a little bit prefer UIUC because I can continue PhD there or even apply again(Apply for other top 10 schools) after getting a master degree. My area is game theory, TCS in broad.
  13. I an very interested in this program( I did research on algorithmic game theory). Didn't get any interview however....
  14. I receive one in early Feb, official comes on Feb 17 Needs to take TOFEL test again for TAShip...
  15. Don't be so hurry to make a decision! Unless you have very strong reason for doing that! I am also waiting for these universities too... I think they'll make their decision before mid-March.
