I heard nothing from them. GRE status in embark is "no current status". I called them early this week, and they said that they would contact us if anything was missed......

Thanks newms:) One of my concerns is that how important an in-submission paper counts for admission. Since the author notifications come out very late, they probably will keep being "in submission" till the decisions are made. Another con is the under grad GPA (82.9 is a limit). I'm just trying my luck for 11fall... Best Wishes. Ethan

Hi everyone, It's really wonderful to find so many people active here:) I'm applying for Ph.D. program in AI/machine learning/security in 11 fall, expecting to get my M.S. at the age of 19 (this summer). Area of study Information Retrieval(my undergrad focus, also did some work on my master's) Machine Learning Security & Privacy GPA & GRE: B.E. 82.9/100 (3.2/4.3, top-ranked university in China, I entered college at 14). M.S. 4.0/4.0 (U Kansas) GRE. Verbal: 660, Q: 800, AW: 3.5 Research and work: I have one tier 1 conference full paper(1st author, ACM MM10, accept rate around 17%) (in information retrieval); One tier 1 journal paper in submission (1st author, TKDE2011, in IR and machine learning). One tier 2 conference full paper in submission (in security & privacy) another two projects in progress. I had summer internship in Chinese Academy of Science in 2007, doing research in computer vision; Recommendations: 3 RLs: one from my M.S. advisor, also my current boss; one from my project co-advisor (also instructor of Machine Learning); one from my thesis committee member(instructor of CV). Below are my choices for grad schools: Berkeley, CMU, Caltech, Cornell, Brown, UT Austin, U Wisc, U Michigan They're all top schools to me... Could you please evaluate my chances of getting admitted? Best regards and good luck to all of you, Ethan.
