newms Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Has anyone heard from Toronto? I applied there quite early. They've never, not even once, updated my status.. I heard it's real tough to get through Toronto. Any MS admits there so far? Based on last year's timing, I would say that they will be sending out results at the end of this week.
thegurubase Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 How highly rated is Toronto's dept. of CS for grad studies? Is it in the top 5? And any idea about job ops in Toronto after graduation?

Toronto would be a top 10 program if it were compared with US programs. I'm not sure about the job prospects in Toronto, but it is a fairly big city so I would imagine that there would be good tech industry job opportunities.
pepsi Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 does anyone know who some of the more well known AI professors/research groups at Umass amherst are? thanks in advance
yamamotomiechan Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hi, I got an email from Princeton today and was rejected. So sad.... , but I hope some schools accept me.
DamianD Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hi, I got an email from Princeton today and was rejected. So sad.... , but I hope some schools accept me. Where else have you applied and where have you already been accepted/rejected?

yamamotomiechan Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hi, Sorry for replying the same message two times. To DamianD My profile and schools I applied are in
yamamotomiechan Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hi, DamianD I forgot answering one of your questions. This was the first result. So I have not had any result from other schools.
idria Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I applied for Computer Engineering at U of T, not Computer Science, but I think the procedure is similar. How it was described to me by a professor there is that after some preliminary filtering, you get your application put in a big database which professors can search by field, what professors you're interested in, etc. And the professors personally choose the people they like, more or less whenever they feel like it. There isn't really the sort of admissions committee you have at some other schools. So you really could hear back whenever.
uoft0633 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Congrats to all got admits!!! It's really nice to have a separate thread specifically for MS ads So far, I got ads from UPenn Robotics MSE and Princeton CS MSE and I'm still waiting for UCLA, UIUC, Columbia and Stanford. All are MS programs. I'm short of research experiences, so mostly I applied for MS (already seen the debts I have to pay...) Does any one know any of those schools I'm waiting for has done their admission? I'm from U of Toronto and my prof told me there were some new policies imposed by Canadian government to restrict the number of admissions for international grad students. I think it is probably due to financial issues since all MS/PhD grad students are supplied with funding. By now, most CS programs I know have made their decisions and there are short waitlists. The results are supposed to be out very soon. Sorry, not sure about Eng programs. uoft0633 1

newms Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 does anyone know who some of the more well known AI professors/research groups at Umass amherst are? thanks in advance I know for machine learning, you have Andrew Barto - he's the head of department I believe, but I think he's close to retirement. Sridhar Mahadevan is pretty well regarded and they also have Andrew McCallum and Hanna Wallach, who are well regarded up and coming researchers in the field.
uoft0633 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Does this mean that if I didn't get an e-mail from UofT so far I am either waitlisted or rejected? Presumably, yes... I heard from a prof in ECE that they had ended the decision makeing period. They will provide around 20-30k for newly admitted students and the number of students in ECE admitted is about the same number as last year's. So, please wait for a week or so and see what happens.

lyjordos Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I applied for the MS program at Yale. According to gradcafe it has sent out the admissions yesterday. Among the ad receivers is not me. So sad. Well, is anyone familiar with Yale..? Is it true that Yale sends out all its admissions in one day.. and there is not waitlist...? Thank you... My heart is really bleeding.
sldm Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Anyone aware of the how and when of Harvard SEAS CS Masters admits/rejections?
foxss Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 They notice me scores unmatched made adjustment yesterday and still "process" my application. Not sure if that means a rej on the way...

You're welcome! I follow a couple email lists in machine learning, plus I did some research on UMass when I was applying. There are a couple websites that you can use to look up research activity, such as Microsoft Academic Search. Edited March 3, 2011 by newms

Just to follow up on this - here's a listing from Microsoft Academic Search of top AI authors: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/RankList?entitytype=2&domainID=5&last=0&start=1&end=100 Of course this is only one way of listing and I don't think you should look at it as the best listing or a ranking per se.
