I am. I would really like to hear back from them. They seemed like a great fit but this long wait is getting to me. What specialization are you looking into?

Most of the schools I've yet to hear from have very little in the results search (on the order of 5 or so). Hoping they send news out soon

Anyone know of a rough deadline for schools to provide a decision by? I've heard April 15th; though I'm not sure what the credibility behind that date is. Some schools seem so quick and others lack communication...

Good on you! Good luck. Now, hopefully NYU will send out decisions soon!

Congratulations! Best of luck to you!

The theories have been confirmed guys. I was denied from PhD but am being considered for MS.

So I now have a "Concentration Track Interests" section on my application page that wasn't there previously. The options it lists are all for the MS degree. So the earlier theory about being considered for MS instead of PhD may in fact be correct. Anyone else have this change?

Also a valid point, +1. I would go with this unless the school says strictly 3 only.

I think this depends greatly. Generally, I would say to definitely choose the professor you TA'd for, because he will speak genuinely about his experiences with you and his faith in you moving forward. However, if the machine learning professor is a world-renowned researcher, then this might give you a huge boost in your application (given he writes a decent letter that doesn't sound generic). That said, my suggestion is that unless the ML professor is a big name guy, I would go with the professor you TA'd for -- he will write a great letter for you since he knows you well and you have worked hard for him.

Happened to me as well when I checked today. They may just be updating their application system, or you might be right. Hopefully they let us know soon. Good luck to all of you!

When I visited another school, I met students that heard from Columbia that said there was a visit weekend, or something of the sorts, in early March. Anyone have any more information on this? I haven't seen much in the results to vouch for this. Also, in regards to NYU and NYU Poly. I believe those two programs are separate at this time, and I don't think gaining admission to NYU Poly places you into the NYU program.

Seems like there's been a burst of rejections for NYU today (6 at the time I'm posting). Anyone have any information on them?

I haven't heard a word from them either. So don't worry; you're not alone! I wish they would give some hint that they are actively reviewing our apps instead of the "Under Review" sign that's been on the application for the last month or more.

There may be Professors who want a certain number in their group but are waiting for the initial offers to accept. If those offers decline they may want to extend an acceptance to another applicant. They wouldn't want to reject a candidate if they are a strong alternative.

Anyone from CS here back?
