  1. On a side note, has anyone contacted UBC regarding when they plan to roll at decisions?
  2. Just went through the CS reults page for U Of Toronto, Oh well doesn't seem like I'm getting in there... They sent out interview requests to the admits and informed them of the decision at the end of the interview. They also mailed back students inquiring about their decision status to ,"Prioritse other offers" as they have very few admits left to give out and will do so only by end of April. Im gonna accept my offer in the US i guess...
  3. If Chemical Engineering comes under the whiting School then i know for sure that they dont provide funding for ms. @Moccalatte try contacting the labs and attempt to get an RA position it will cut the tuition in half
  4. I personally prefer the research at Columbia over Duke. Not to mention I really like the idea of living in NYC
  5. My application for Alberta is definitely under review, because someone contacted and asked me to fill a supplementary form, which was "necessary to fill before my application could be put up for review". That was like a week ago, needless to say the anxiety makes me check the portal 10+ times a day.
  6. USC does this a lot, I'm guessing they schedule the server to send out these mails when the load on their servers is the least. That or they are really hardworking
  7. Check this -> LINK. Most profiles are not particularly great, but the fact that they received decision responses just goes to show that application evaluation is underway.
  8. Thanks for providing me with this perspective. I realize now that I should focus on what my needs are from a graduate school and make a decision based on whether they are satisfied rather than comparing myself with my peers. Much appreciated!
  9. Thanks for the insight. Honestly, this was hard to read, but I think I really needed it. It's really unfair for me to pass judgements in the way that I did.
  10. So I have applied to 13 Computer science schools, I am an international applicant and keep track of admits to these school using this site and another one called yocket. Every day I observe people with much "worse" (lower GRE, GPA, No or much lesser research or other experience) getting accepted to my program. Looking at these results day in day out I find myself thinking, "Should I even go to these schools?". The sort of mental philosophy I have is that I want to go to a graduate school which is equal to or greater than my calibre. Is it fair for me to judge schools this way? I am in the wrong here? Any advice/counselling would be appreciated!
  11. From the previous years results you can see that they send out mass rejects around May. So no news may be bad... However, they do start their evaluation pretty late as well so I suspect that they just started with the process recently. A little early to lose hope!
  12. Same 3 for me too! UBC seems to give out decisions extremely late though :<
  13. CO OP Opportunitites are excellent for landing Jobs, this is especially beneficial with respect to information system management- try to find a list of companies the CO OP program has to offer. I recommend you check the previous year's placements for both institutions for Information Systems Management most institutions publish their job placement results with a mean median and max salary offers.
  14. I contacted profs in about 20 unis, outlining my profile, research experience and interest. Only about 4 of them gave me a genuine response - 2 of them saying the same thing as you received, as for the other 2 - one gave me a % chance of acceptance and the other encouraged me to apply. Majority of the replies(10-13) were copy pasted templates telling me to refer FAQs on the unis website. The rest did not reply at all. I am a cs student and applying for ms programs for the same. Profs receive thousands of these kind of mails, most don't reply to them or even read them, don't get discouraged.
  15. I'll be applying for Fall 2017 Masters programs in the US and was wondering if there was any advantage of applying early? Of the 9 colleges that I am planning on applying to only U of Chicago has an "early action" deadline. If I apply early do I get my reply earlier? Is my application evaluated earlier? Any help is appreciated Thanks
