Purdue PhD CS

[beanbagchairs]

I've seen some results for Purdue, CS, PhD scattered around the result board and found this:

Got this email: "There has been an error in the application system which sent admission notices for the distance-learning program to all of our applicants. Please disregard this notice. Official admissions decisions will be sent no later than next. ..."

I applied to Purdue (CS) and did not get the above email. What's up with Purdue? Anyone heard from them? If you did, can you post the entire email. I am interested to know what comes after this ----> "Official admissions decisions will be sent no later than next. ..."

next month??

I've got admit yesterday. Three days ago my applyyourself status changed to "recommended for program"

I didn't get e-mail like "There has been an error in the application system which sent admission notices for the distance-learning program to all of our applicants. Please disregard this notice. Official admissions decisions will be sent no later than next. ..."

I was the one who posted that...the whole email is this:

There has been an error in the application system which sent admission notices for the distance-learning program to all of our applicants. Please disregard this notice. Official admissions decisions will be sent no later than next. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we resolve this system error.

It was emailed during the same the day when I got this :

I was excited when I saw the acceptance, but I think it was a mistake...a glitch on their system

That's awful!! Sorry to hear that denshaSai. I truly hope you'll get accepted at Purdue.

congrats edvolkov.. my appyourself status still says "under review" :|.. Oh well.

It's too early to celebrate - most of Purdue admits are without funding (as in my case). Taking into account that only 50 percents of Purdue incoming students receive financial aid and that no more than 20 percents accept admit without aid (that's my assumption), I evaluate the probability of getting funding in this university as no more than 0,17 - that's extremely small value.
