trillian Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 those who are getting in should hear this week or next week, judging from last year's results... so far I've been accepted at NCSU and spoke with a prof. on the admissions committee at Cornell...

freakedout Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well... I guess it's time to start posting our results... Please stay outside, you will scare the real applicants: Stanford, Columbia We will give you a chance, don't disappoint us: NONE We want you to suffer... we won't say anything: MIT, Caltech, Harvard, CMU, Georgia Tech, NYU Now I'm starting to realize how optimistic I was about the whole process.. am I the only one???

Has anyone heard from CMU Robotics Phd ? The wait is taking toll on me. I have been refreshing my email just too much :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakedout Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I just saw that the EPFL has starting to reply... Do the guys applying there have some comments about it?... how would you rate it, comparing it to more well known universities in the US? Update: No news since the last post :/.

babaatiit Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 has any one heard from the following schools for ECE phd? Columbia Stony Brooks Purdue RPI Washington Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakedout Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 To the people who contacted the MIT... Did they mention if they are going to notify the rest of us soon? (maybe they said the letter was in the mail?) ... I'm just trying to guess for how long I have to endure this before being rejected... and don't feel bold enough to call as the other guys did :/ I had 3 rejections in a row (with no acceptance before that) and a 4th go-away notice would be a deadly blow to my spirit... Congrats to the guy who got into MIT , you know some of us would mop the floor over there to be able able to put that place in our CV, btw, would you mind sharing your profile with the rest of the mortals over here? Good luck to everybody... we only need to be accepted by one school, right? ... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trillian Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 to the guy who assumed I was a guy, you assumed wrong. i don't have a 4.0, i do have research experience, and i did have a recommender who graduated from there two years ago and is generally regarded by all parties as being awesome.

freakedout Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 heheh... sorry about assuming you were a guy, I guess my English is not strong enough to let me express in that gender-less way americans like so much (am I assuming something wrong again? )... I just wanted to have an idea of what particular thing made you shine among a thousand candidates (not "you" as in trillian, but as someone admitted to a highly competitive place)... I don't have a 4.0 either but my research experience is strong (I have been working in a place with ties to several top 10 universities in the US) and I thought I had a chance in certain schools... I would like to know what I'm missing and see if I can improve it before applying next time... Still no news on MIT, Caltech, CMU, Harvard, Georgia Tech and NYU .... But from the posts I have seen so far, I think no news on MIT and Caltech at this point means that I have to start thinking on that plan C I didn't even want to consider :/ .... a.k.a. "real world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemud Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 has any one heard from the following schools for ECE phd? Columbia Stony Brooks Purdue RPI Washington Seattle I heard from RPI a while ago (no news on funding yet) for MS/PhD. I think they have an odd system, though.

BadMan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Does anybody know when the following schools start sending results for MS CS - UT Austin UCLA Gatech WashU Minnesota Cornell (MEng) UMich Ann Arbor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakedout Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ok... I have seen people talking through the result posts and since I share some of their concerns I thought I could mention them here too... Rejected: Stanford, Columbia and MIT (three times: by phone, website and post.... in case there was any doubt). Not rejected yet: Caltech, CMU, Harvard, Georgia Tech and NYU. Accepted: I wish... (all of them for CS PhD) As many others, I'm freaking out now that people have been admitted at GaTech and my online status is still showing "No decision has been made"... I'm also quite surprised of not being rejected by CMU in their avalanche last week... I didn't believe my profile was strong enough to get into MIT or Stanford, but being rejected from all of them is a scary thought. Are some of the other lurkers in the same situation regarding CMU, Gatech, NYU, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleep Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 As I know, a) CMU: Lots of applicants were rejected last week...maybe you are on the waitinglist... Gatech: Someone has received the offer.(stipend $19500/year or something like that) c) Caltech: There was an "interview and visit weekend" during Feb.23-Feb.24. Hope that the results would come out soon... (But I find that someone reported his offer on thegradcafe on Mar.20 last year ... Anyone hear any news from Caltech? ) (all of them for CS PhD) Ok... I have seen people talking through the result posts and since I share some of their concerns I thought I could mention them here too... Rejected: Stanford, Columbia and MIT (three times: by phone, website and post.... in case there was any doubt). Not rejected yet: Caltech, CMU, Harvard, Georgia Tech and NYU. Accepted: I wish...

freakedout Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well.... I have been rejected by CMU. I wasn't expecting to get in after the other rejections but it still feels painful... My score is 0-4 now and I dont feel too optimistic about the other 4: Caltech (yea right.. ), Harvard (?) , gatech (seems to have accepted a few people and my status still says pending), NYU (no way to know...) ... In the meanwhile, Columbia offered me a place for an MS degree after the PhD rejection. Does someone have any info about this program? is it a good stepping stone for the PhD? do they at least offer tuition waivers? is it kind of recognized (it looks quite short, I think you only need a year to take 30 credits)?... I would have to give some serious thought to that option if I'm rejected by every single school and some comments about it would be deeply appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsid05 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Masters programs typically only require 1 year/30 credits. I don't know anything specific about that program but getting a masters there should make it easier to get into their PhD program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwhoops Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, I already posted this in another topic, but I guess this one is more appropriate. I've finally heard back from my last school (Stony Brook) and here are the final decisions: MIT - rejected Stanford - accepted Berkeley - rejected Yale - accepted Stony Brook - accepted Carnegie Mellon - rejected Rice - accepted I'll probably accept Stanford's offer (I'm visiting tomorrow!) These were all for a PhD in CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
