bananamuffins Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Here for round 2 and playing the waiting game again. Thought I'd open this thread for anyone else applying to an IS, CIS, Data Science etc PhD. Second application to the Drexel PhD in Information Science, spruced up my resume a bit more to include new stuff I've done over the past year and hoping for the best. Also applied for the part time option because the full time is very competitive apparently. Nervous in solidarity with you all fellow 2021 applicants!!

purrr Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I applied for DS PhD at NYU, DS master at ETHZ and EPFL. So far I've only had a zoom chat with a POI at NYU SH. Pretty anxious and hope I can stop checking the results page ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you applied for both PhD and Masters. Are you completely new to the DS field? Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banerry Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hi people, I also applied to NYU data science PhD but NY campus. I wonder if anyone has heard back or received interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you completely new to the DS field? Just curious Thank you, all the best to you as well! I major in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a double major in math. I did research related to machine learning, so I guess I have some experience. I feel like data science is a very interdisciplinary field. For my graduate study I want to combine both theory and application bananamuffins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from last year's stats, it probably takes longer (~Feb) for them to get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeTrees Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 What are your thoughts on UIUC? I applied to UIUC's IS program as well as University of Washington's and Cornell's. On 12/21/20, I got a rejection decision from UW. But I've recently received news of an upcoming interview with UIUC. I've noticed noone else has mentioned it in their application list, so I was wondering if there is some kind of aversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean the PhD in Information at iSchool, UIUC? I just received the interview request from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us here have applied to PhD programs but hopefully someone will come along who's also applied to one of those Masters programs.

omelette789 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I also applied for NYU DS, still waiting to hear anything back from them. For those of you who did, when did you get interview invites? Waiting is worst : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPGT Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Good luck to all you guys! I was told to be waitlisted today fromt the UW Information Science PhD program, and somehow I don't think I have much chance of getting out the list... I also applied to the UIUC iSchool program, but no updates from them ever since, guess little chance there as well?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananamuffins Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Finally got acceptance letter from Drexel for the Information Science PhD. I was sure it was going to be a NO after all this time of waiting since I had heard nothing else. This is my second attempt getting into this program so feeling pretty happy. Wishing everyone else the best of luck. Don't give up! ischoolTRI21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
