Trying to consider all my options for school. Right now, it seems like my program does not offer assistantships to newly enrolled students and as we all know, school is expensive. I have been considering taking out a loan and I am wondering how much of a bad idea this is.

I got upsetting news about a project I was a part of at work and was at my desk preparing to get chewed out by my boss when I saw a LinkedIn message from a current student in the program I applied to. She was reminding me that decisions were supposed to be out that day and wished me good luck. I immediately logged in to my email to find my letter of acceptance!
-
I got accepted!!!!! Yay for all of us!!!! Goodluck to everyone

Today is the day people! hopefully....

I haven’t heard back from GT (interactive computing track), CMU and UW (HCDE) yet. Had an interview with CMU early Feb. It seems like most of the applicants have already heard back from GT and CMU, so I am wondering if I should lose hope...
Congrats to everyone who have been admitted!
Same with me for GT. I may be loosing hope to be honest.

Anyone heard anything from UW? I am applying for HCID and HCDE, did anyone get interview so far?
I haven't heard anything from HCDE. They said they usually post results from the 15th of March so next Friday hopefully?

Really hoping I can add to this thread ?

I have literally been waiting for the next 2 weeks all year lol. Hopefully we all get some good news!

Are the results out for CMU HCI?
I don't see anything out for them yet. But it looks like decisions have gone out early March in the past

Congrats!! I also applied to the psych track, guess that means an implied rejection now!
Do you mind sharing a little bit of your background?
Don't loose hope yet! According to the results page, they keep sending out decisions till like mid-March. I too started accepting that not hearing any news means I've been rejected but you never know. It's not over until it's over.

I was looking at the results page and it looks like in the past, decisions keep going out till mid-March so nobody loose hope!!!

I was just accepted to Ga Tech's MSHCI (ID track) program over the weekend. Pretty sure my internship experience compensated for my low gpa. I did a year internship with a major corporation, then a semester with another, bigger corporation.
Also had an interview with CMU last week. Anyone heard back or want to tell how your interview with them went?
Congrats!!!!

I wonder how holistically people at Udub look at each admission material. Answering to your question: I have applied to a couple of other schools as well!! Waiting for those.. Hope everything turns out good to all of us here!!
Same. One thing I've learned is at the end of the day, it really is pure fate. One could have the best admission material out there and get a professor having a bad day go through their stuff. I've accepted that. Doesn't make waiting any easier though lol

I've applied to HCDE as well. But I'm freaking out how things are going to turn up! Exactly 1 month left for admits!!
Freaking out is the only thing we can do now haha. Do you have a back up plan?

Yeeeesss, especially for UW and CMU.
I applied for GT as well (along with CMU/UMich/UMD). My guess is that GT cares (a little) less about professional exp than the other top programs.
Good luck!
(forgot to quote before)
I think so too but I spoke with a current student at UW and she said they really try to diversify the kind of students they accept. Hopefully our applications are good enough. Good luck!!!!

Here. Coming directly from undergrad as well. Crossing fingers.
Its nerve-wracking going straight from undergrad because I feel like most of the applicants have a lot more to offer research-wise/work experience

Here here! Which schools have you guys applied to and with which undergrad background? I'm an international with 3-ish working exp. in tech.
I decided to only do three schools. Applied to University of Washington, Georgia Tech and San Jose State
Graduated from undergrad in Computer Science. Also international. Been working for the past year in tech as well. I am unbelievably nervous haha.

Me! I've applied to 5 different programs, all in the US.
Also my first time applying but have been working for the past 4-ish years.
Good luck! The wait is so nerve-wracking because from other posts I've seen, its so hard to figure out what these schools want

Here. This is my second application cycle. Started a program in the fall that wasn't a good fit and I guess I'm a masochist
haha I'm sure you're not. Do you mind me asking where you are now and why you feel it isn't a good fit?
I only applied to 3 schools and I would hate to go through all of this hassle only to hate my program
