    I couldn't find one, so I created one myself: https://t.me/umass_fall2018

    Amherst, MA

    seems_fair replied to judith's topic in City Guide

    I will go to Umass Amherst as well. Is there telegram/whatsapp/facebook for those who got in?

    I thought about it as well and I agree about effort and money part. Still, I think that this process is very inefficient (as you mentioned earlier) especially comparing the number of open postdoc positions (almost every lab has them) to the number of accepted phd students. It looks like training process fails to supply the demand in good researchers. Or maybe the field (ML/DL) is new that's why there is a shortage of good researchers in this area. But that's the reality we live (and apply) in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think that the admission process is extremely risk-averse adds another layer of complexity. Given the number of applicants, if you are non-usual applicant (i.e. 30+, switching areas or have uncommon personal history) you are at a disadvantage because there are a lot of comparable candidates which look 'safer' (i.e. solid undergrad with good GPA and decent ML-research experience even without publications). I am in similar position as you (I am 30+) and got only one offer so far although I have 4 first-author publications in related field (but I also have really bad undergrad GPA and very decent MS).

    Congratulations! I applied there as well, but haven't heard from them.

    Good point, I was thinking of this. As of now, I want to keep it as is -- otherwise, it will require generating everything again. Also, bear in mind that this data is based on 5-year period, so these spikes maybe for the particalar year in admissions.

    I checked data and these are kinda specific programs (about several hundred observations for all universities). It is just too granular. Sorry.

    Well, it's weird.

    There can be bias in self-reported scores, because rejected people with good scores may be salty. That's why I was mostly interested in timelines.

    I got a rejection from UT Austin as well. Lot of good candidates ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I wouldn't look to acceptance rates based on this data because they are definitely skewed towards acceptance in most cases.

    Thanks! Here you go: Education PhD https://imgur.com/a/NVZQH Education MS https://imgur.com/a/yfoQz

    I have really bad undergrad GPA. But we'll see. Thanks for kind words!

    Here you go Microbiology PhD https://imgur.com/a/swpLT Not enough data for particular universities.
  21. seems_fair
    I wouldn't look at accepted/rejected ratio in this data because it is definitely biased. People are more likely to brag about accepts than rejects. And CS is crazy competitive. I am applying to CS and scared shitless.
  22. seems_fair
    Sociology is in one of the answers above. Geography I will check if there is enough data.
  23. seems_fair
    Added another one: History PhD https://imgur.com/a/lXdLe

    Added another big one: Political Science PhD https://imgur.com/a/EuNTB
  25. seems_fair
    By request, added two more. Please bear in mind that some programs can be too specific (i.e. Arabian studies), thus not having enough data for particular university (I use 30 observations threshold). Biostatistics PhD https://imgur.com/a/UQ2e9 Linguistics PhD https://imgur.com/a/MauHg
