  1. I think this situation does not present any conflict. I have received an I-20 along with the admissions package from one school. But the school that I have chosen has still not sent my I-20 and I will just discard the I-20 from the other school. I already told them that I was not accepting their offer.
  2. Webometrics is not a very good ranking of universities in my opinion and it is even worse if you consider specialities, because this ranking has no clue about fields of study.
  3. I applied to the Computer Vision field
  4. Again universities don't pay that much attention as we might think to stuff like GRE scores. I got rejected from the PhD program and got in for the MS program. My GRE quant was 720, GRE verbal 600 and AW 4.0. I didn't do any subject test and my TOEFL was 108.
  5. Probably this does not matter anymore. I know a guy who graduated from CMU INI. And also I hear admittances from this program way more often than to the CS program in CMU (check edulix). So I am almost sure that getting at CMU INI is way easier than getting into CMU CS. CMU is highly regarded in CS. The CMU INI and information systems programs are for people who want to go to industry. If you want to consider an academic/research career in the future then I hope you didn't choose CMU INI but for instance, Columbia MS in CS program.
  6. The faculties at top tier universities are mostly there because of their outstanding research record or achievements. You can do that in theory in every place. I chose an even lower ranked school than Maryland (where I resigned from my admittance). The current president of Stanford graduated from CS at the school I chose. And after all, if you do well in your PhD, you will surely be considered for Postdoc positions at top tier schools.
  7. I received mine too. BTW very informative and complete package.
  8. Ok, I got mine Even having acceptances still hurts. Good luck to all of you fellows.
  9. Regarding Computer Graphics.There are other excellent professors there. You should check also their graduate courses.
  10. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a very good one. Just review their graduate courses and you will find several specialized courses on parallel processing. You will also find a lot of research undergoing in systems. Also take into account that they have the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the birth place of Mosaic, the first web browser. So they have plenty of facilities to do this kind of research.
  11. Got the official letter in PDF by email
  12. From the Universities you are mentioning I have already heard from University of Maryland College Park, I received the official acceptance via email but when checking their website status page I still see "Pending Decision". Regarding Columbia I was rejected from the PhD program and now I am being considered for MS admission, so I am pretty sure they are still deciding at least on that. No idea about the other programs you are mentioning.
  13. I see your reasons now. The only thing I am a little worried is that they don't formally offer a Computer Vision course. I have been looking through their webpage for the last semester and the following 2 semesters. I might be plain wrong but I just can't find this course on their system. The closest is "Statistical and Neural Pattern Recognition"
  14. I have not been officially given that information from SUNY-SB but I have also heard about the $15K range.
