I believe they are the same I believe that if you don't get offer in the first round and the status still says something like "under review", then you are waitlisted.

U of Utah vs Northeastern for CS PhD
excelle08 replied to duckshooter's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Vote for Northeastern, in terms of location - Big city is more convenient for daily life. You don’t have to live in scenic spots to enjoy it as you can visit on vacation, while you are going to live and work in the place you choose for five years - Boston is safer than Salt Lake - NEU is famous for its good career service and Boston has lot more job opportunities. After all faculty positions are hard to get so you may also want to work in industry. - Although it’s expensive to live in Boston, NEU provides relatively larger amount of stipend so it shouldn’t be too big a problem. -
Yep. Finger crossed

University of Washington, the one in Seattle.

Exactly. UCR ranks great in csrankings.org, especially in Systems area. USNews can be very biased and subjective.

Sadly I only applied to CS program. Anyway it's just a lottery. It's very hard to get admission from CMU PhD program without top tier publications and undergraduate university.

Because I know the competition in Californian universities is extremely fierce, even started from last year...So didn't intend to put all eggs in one basket. I didn't apply UCLA because of inadequate recommendation letters. One of the recommender refused to contact me at that time, so I had to seek another one, but ddl for UCLA had passed.

Maybe, but can't absolutely say so because the supecomputing lab in UCR is very attractive for its awesome publications. They published two SC papers last year.
-
Yes as they are higher tiered universities in the field of computer system and storage system. For other schools in "realistic choices" I think I should further compare, in terms of the advisor, stipend package, location and so on. They all have pros and cons.

He told me that he would review applications in Feb. I checked the gradcafe results and found UCR indeed notified in March last year, and in late Feb for 2016. Just wait patiently. Anyway I've already got acceptance from NEU.

I applied to GATech, CMU, WashU, UCSD and WISC, but did not hear back anything. Seems that they all sent out their first round offers yesterday...So it's likely that my hope for these top tier schools is frail.
-
Congratulations! That's amazing! I received its rejection yesterday...
-
It seems so, just waiting for official notifications.
-
The POI read my transcript and paper drafts, then replied that my background was good match with their lab and would recommend fellowship for me.

How to evaluate the tier of a Conference or Journal?
excelle08 replied to nicelhc13's topic in Computer Science
Also another way is to look at the history of the conference. For example a conf that has been held for tens of years is not likely to be of poor quality. Also notice the PC and SC members, as well as authors of previous papers. Good conferences always attract highly skilled scientists, prestigious groups and institutions.
