Least Selective Ivy League Master's in Computer Science Program
yjkim192 replied to rossgeller91's topic in Computer Science
I actually heard that Columbia masters is a heavy cash cow program (sorry if I'm wrong...). If that is the case it might not be that difficult to get in. But you have to really consider going to Columbia... the living expense is going to be huge, unless you are from a rich family you should not consider Columbia Masters program (PhD is awesome) -
You can't defy your decision after you accepted the offer?
-
Wow that truly is a disaster... How did they even manage that situation
-
Yeah it seems like you are in the waitlist. Wish for the good luck!
-
Did you get accepted?
-
Well If you are confident that you can reach PhD after masters, then yeah take the risk It is your life anyways~ I'm was just saying it is a risk to select Masters when you already got an offer for a top research school like Phd at UMD. Good luck I envy you
-
What were you doing when you received your acceptance?
yjkim192 replied to YA_RLY's topic in Waiting it Out
Lol me too. I think this is common for international students. We usually get our decisions after waking up in the morning. -
If your goal is eventually getting PHD this is no contest. Name values do not mean anything in research, and to be honest there is no guarantee that you will be excepted to UMD CS PHD level schools after you finish masters. Go for the PhD and focus on your research topic. Anyway congratulation for getting accepted to good schools.

I don't understand it seems that schools are taking more time this year.

University of Chicago PHD applications (CS)
yjkim192 replied to StressedOutUser's topic in Computer Science
I'm also waiting for Chicago MPCS and no news... It seems schools are taking more time this year. -
Yeah I know, Since they have something like a 7% acceptance rate. They could have just send the lower 80% of their pool that they unfortunately don't have a chance this year.

How do you know if your applications are at the faculty level? -

I know this felling. It's like why was I so confident when applying? I should of applied to more safe schools but it's too late to retreat -
Case 1: Schools sent out both accepts and rejects but you didn't got one -> you are in their consideration Case 2: Schools sent out accepts but not rejects but you didn't got one->99% you are reject and they are just holding on you application for... I don't know... Good luck on your application

I think it is a school that provides enough education for one to become a world class researcher if he or she has the will
-
Yeah, I'm applying to CS too, I don't understand why it is so quiet. Some of the schools that I applied should have released admits and rejects by now. But... no sign...
-
Anybody waiting for UT Austin? don’t know what is taking them so long. they should of released all there accepts and rejects by now...

So, I'm not the only one not hearing anything... It kind of worries me at this time if they even got my application. -
If you are going for Phd now or then. Definitely choose the PhD. Rankings do not matter in the long run. Also, there is no guarantee that you will succeed next year. After getting a masters degree your profile will be evaluated much more rigorously. Unless they think you are ready right away for a PhD they will not admit you.
-
I think I'm on the minority here. I don't care if the results come out at weekends. I just want to know as fast possible so I can get on with it and plan the next future based on the results.
-
I’m beginning to think my e-mail is blocking their mails. This is such a hard process lol
-
Yeah I know, I bet over half of their applicants don't even have a chance(for top schools). Why not just send out rejection letters at least for them so they can move on with it.
-
Well in the past decisions were very late. But today I also saw a rejection so maybe they are sending out decisions before the deadline. I should of applied earlier
-
Can decisions be out even before the deadline? Cause I just saw Northwestern CS MS accept in the results but the thing is Northwester CS MS deadline is FEB 28... Could it be just a troll?
-
UT Austin did released their PHD accept. But not sure about their Masters.
