Dear applicant,
Please note that the review for admissions to our MS program is currently underway. Those who indicated an interest to be considered for the MS program will be reviewed on a space availability basis. Therefore, not all of the applicants can be considered. This year, the applicant pool has been extremely competitive. The decision might be made as late as August 2015.
If you have other options, we highly recommend that you exercise one of those options.
Sincerely,
Computer Science Graduate Admissions Stanford University
The above is the letter I received mid-february. Will they actually take until August to reply or are they done with the MS admission process?
I know at least some PhD rejects have been offered admission to MS and some with full financial support.
Will they acknowledge the rest of PhD aspirants who also opted in for MS consideration or do we already stand rejected ?
