Rensselaer's Extended Deadline (applied to cog sci phd)

[Matt12345]

Hello,

I see that Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has extended its undergraduate and graduate application deadlines. Does this mean that there was a drop in their usual numbers or that there weren't enough applicants? I thought that at first, but then I saw that the undergrad had its deadline extended as well, so I don't know. It seems like a new trend in schools these days.

I saw someone on these forums last year who applied and got in. It looks like the guy had stellar everything -- gpa, research experience, the whole thing. I have a pretty weak math background myself.

Also does anyone here have any inside intel on their cognitive science program?

Not sure where I was going with this post...

Thx
