University of Utah PhD Computer Science

[Dev1ce]

Hey guys,

So, I received a direct PhD in Computer Science Admit from the University of Utah, and I had a few queries regarding the program

I was wondering if there was someone here who could help me with the same and answer my queries

 

Thanks

Hey, I got an acceptance for Utah CS PhD too!
What are your questions?

[Dev1ce]

Hey!

Sorry for the late reply.

So. I got that there is funding for the first year and that I can choose my POI after 1-2 semesters.

I don't if it is a certainty that there will be RA funding for subverting years, although it is added in "estimated funding" in the offer letter. Can you help me confirm if the funding is a certainly?

 

Moreover, is their some online group/community for Utah admits ? You're the only other Utah admit I've found till now 

 

Thanks !!

I asked my potential advisor about the funding and he confirmed what you say.  

While there is no certainty, it is unlikely you'd have to work without funding and it seems you can almost always get TA positions in the worst case.

Yeah. I got the same response from the people in the committee and even some current PhD students.

 

What is your Sub-field btw. I am looking at the Utah Arch group and the Systems group for potential advisors. Found some really good professors, other than my potential advisor.
