That's what I keep telling myself that those guys out there are processing 1000s of applications. Anyway, I think the Native Americans or applicants with American Undergrads are naturally notified earlier than Internationals (my case). Somebody told me that UT Austin's CS Graduate Meeting hasn't taken place yet and it's due on 2nd -9th April. However, I can see a lot of students have already been rejected prior to this meeting. Does this mean "Pre Filtering or Cutoff filtering" ? But still, for UT-Austin, where do you actually go to check your status; is it ? https://utdirect.utexas.edu/admissions/status_check.WBX My status still shows "We've received your application and are currently reviewing it." Does this mean that I survived the initial cutoff filtering ( just trying to feel better with fingers crossed ). Also I find many people still waiting on GaTech.

I have applied in 10 universities in total and so far only heard from 2 (today is 27th March,2008) ((. Sometimes I just wonder what is happening out there. Canadian universities take a little longer I know but what about the 7 other US universities I have applied. 1. University of Utah ( God knows what is happening; nobody replies to my e-mail, no updates in website (ApplyYourself), no emails, nothing. ) 2. University of Southern California ( Same as Utah and, even worse, the status in the USC website says that my application is incomplete whereas all the necessary materials were marked "received". I heard several people are having similar problem and I have been assuaged that it's not an issue. But when am I getting results ??? ) 3. Georgia Institute of Tech. ( I am literally getting sick of seeing that dreaded line "No decision has been made" in the status page. Something tells me that it will stay like that for eternity ). Also seeing so many people already got decisions makes me even sicker . 4. University of Texas Ausin ( things are all stand-still from this end too. I saw several people got rejected last week but my one still says "We are reviewing." If you want to reject me, please reject me now !! ). 5. University of California - Davis (this almost looks like a haunted university to me. What's wrong with these guys? I have never been able to get into any kind of touch with any of Davis personal since I applied here). 6. Brown ( Yes!! Got rejected .. yahoooo! Atleast I heard something ) 7. Arizona State University ( Yes!! Got Accepted but no mention of funding was there. Anyway, got accepted atleast in one place ) 8. University of Calgary ( The prof said that he would take me and an official offer letter (email) would be issued very soon but 3 weeks have passed by since then ). 9. Simon Fraser University ( Similar thing happened like that of Calgary ). 10. University of Alberta ( Got Rejected yeeeehhhhh ) Oh, maybe I forgot to mention; I actually applied for PhD in Computer Graphics and Visualization. Anyone having a kind of similar miserable life like mine out there? Anyone ?
