    UMD? Nooooo!

    in Computer Science

    Posted

    Very well put. Totally bogus query by OP. If somebody has issues with staying in Maryland itself, I would find that perfectly understandable. But the way the question is phrased is bound to raise eyebrows. Think its a troll or a disgruntled applicant.

    Definitively... I guess if he is so ashamed of going to a great school like UMD... there are many people in the forum who would be willing to trade positions with him...

    I just received my answer :D

    They advised me to apply to their masters also, with no funding... I can't pay that... and I have already committed to University of Florida :), so it doesn't really matter XD

    I still have no answer :P I guess they lost my App...

    I have accepted Florida's offer anyway... however I am a little bit mad that I paid 80 bucks and got not even a courtesy rejection email...

    Is anyone still waiting like me?

    you know, april 2nd in 2007 was monday, so it could be this coming monday :) or it could be tomorrow.

    doesnt matter though. im gonna attend illinois anyway.

    I was rejected at Illinois :( I'm probably attending Florida :P However, I really want to know San Diego's final answer before accepting Florida's offer :P

    Forum Stats for Feb '09

    I was going to insult you for your post count, since you've been here about 3 weeks. But then I checked my Feb count and decided not to.

    But while I'm on the topic of post counts, when will I finally get to transcend Mocha? If I hit 400 and it doesn't change I'm going to be disheartened.

    Loool you better not :P I did tried hard to get a good post count... I would have probably got a much bigger one if my employer hadn't realize that I was doing so much web browsing at work... :D (he wouldn't be happy with my post count either...)

    What can I say? I felt so comfortable around people with so similar experiences to my own.... that I had to participate a lot :P

    For those of us on waitlists, it won't be over til the crow caws....i.e. probably sometime mid-august...

    I'm hoping that I will know about my waitlist right before or after the 15th... but who knows?? :roll:

    That is exactly why that shouldis so damn beautiful (and sarcastic).. in the end... we all know it won't be over then

    Research Papers VS. GRE Subject

    in Computer Science

    Posted

    Well, from what I have heard (and this is the foundation upon I based my decision of taking the Subject GRE), the Subject GRE is a good choice if people in the university you are applying to, are unfamiliar with the university where you did your undergraduate degree, or if your undergraduate degree was in another field of study.

    So it depends, if your undergraduate school is fairly known, maybe you shouldn't bother.

    Other possible reason for taking the Subject GRE is if your grades in your major were somehow low, which seems not to be your case (since you have a high GPA).

    In my opinion, taking the Subject GRE won't improve your chances of getting into Gatech, especially if you are confident in your publications.

    Good luck.

    Did anyone else actually like this process?

    you don't think it is better to enjoy vegetables AND ice cream? :)

    I think that, as vegetables, the aspects that tkm256 is talking about, are maybe not meant for everybody to like... I myself found it cool to adjust my SoP trying to maximize my chances at each school... (and some of it didn't work... and probably could be seeing as a waste of time).....

    Best Grad Schools for Distrbuted Computing

    in Computer Science

    Posted

    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.

    I'm with vincent! I have a friend in UIUC's doctoral program and he is doing really amazing research on distributed systems. Their program is really good

    Should you go to grad school?

    This article again? I've seen this posted so many times in various places. Honestley, I think the author has a few good points, but overall he just sounds bitter and is trying to scare people.

    Loool, Sorry if it is redundant for you! :P The article was written like a week ago, I don't see how you could have found it in so many places, so fast... but ok...

    Scaring people? I don't know, I guess the job situation for professors in top school is a reality, and is just something one should consider before entering grad school...

    Also, I didn't find his tone bitter... He is really happy with his job! He even says is the best job in the world... and I concur with him...

    @GirlattheHelm good analysis :) I'm with you on how tenure professors some times abuse of their position in order to do basically nothing.... And how universities are tending more to hire professors just for adjunct positions...
