PCP Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Bernard: Theory Michigan: Not sure yet -- I'm going to be abroad starting at the end of February, so it would be a bit of a trip. I've visited before though.
leogk Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 so coooooooooool! guys! I didn't hear anything from Berkeley, which means I'm very unlikely.... By the way,... michigantrumpet, I would say you are "the 2009 com arch applicant of the year". PCP, you "the 2009 theory applicant of the year".
michigantrumpet Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Haha, no. I would say the real "applicants of the year" don't waste their time on gradcafe I'm actually systems software and hardware-software interaction, but I got lumped with architecture at most schools. It tends to be arch profs doing the research that interests me.
alice Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 < Haha, no. I would say the real "applicants of the year" don't waste their time on gradcafe thanks!
mav3rick Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Haha, no. I would say the real "applicants of the year" don't waste their time on gradcafe michigantrumpet you are as real as it gets! When EE guys reported admits at UCB few days back, the only thing that comforted me into waiting for Berkeley CS results was that you too hadn't heard from them till that time
michigantrumpet Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I see you got in too! Congrats, mav3rick! See you in March?
longhorn Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 michigantrumpet, PCP and mav3rick, congrats! mav3rick, mind sharing your profile? I applied to systems & networking stream too.
aries Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Congrats to all of you who have received acceptances!!! I am applying to MIT, CMU, UIUC, UWisc, UMD, JHU, Michigan for PhD in computer vision. I haven't heard from any uni yet . I think my chance for UIUC and Michigan is quite low now as many people have received admissions from these 2. Btw, here's my profile Undergraduate: Australia. Master: from the same uni in Australia (started in March 2008). Research Exp: 2 years experience. Publications: 1 CVPR, 1 ICIP, 3 regional conferences (2 best paper awards), 1 IEEE Trans submitted. GRE: 1170 (Q:780, V: 390 what a shame!!!). TOEFL: NA
MD0925 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 My top choice is Stanford and I visited them in November and had a chat with one of the profs that I am interested to work for and the admissions director and got some positive feedback. Also had my application reviewed by an alumni who was a part of the CS admissions committee. I am really scared about it though as I was rejected last year and am reapplying this year. Anyone heard anything from Stanford EE. I believe there is one applicant who got an interview e-mail. If you are on these forums, would you care to share the area of specialization? Also michigantrumpet, it seems like you are at Ann Arbor. What is your take on the school? What are some of the drawbacks and benefits of pursuing a graduate education at Michigan? If I make it to Stanford, it would most likely be a decision between the two. Keeping my fingers crossed at this point of time!!!!

aries Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 @tedjj: Hopefully we will know something next week. Do you mind sharing your profile?
tedjj Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 My profile could be much better but can't do anything about it now;PP Graduating in 2009 with an undergraduate degree (without masters) from CUNY:CCNY, double major in CS and math, gpa 3.5 overall (~3.8 in cs). GRE: 440V (I am not a native speaker - came to usa in summer of 2002 so my vocabulary sucks;P), 750M, 4.5 AWA. No publications yet (only listed in acknowledgment section in one paper) but few research projects (REU at another univ., work with mentor at my school (funded by graduate fellowship at my school as a preparation for a career in research/college teaching), in total ~2 yrs of research experience), one may result in a paper this year. I applied to 15 PhD programs (perhaps 16 but some documents are still missing for one school) and 1 masters. So far accepted to the masters program, and rejected to one Phd program. Hopefully I will get in somewhere - it would really suck to get 15 rejections
leogk Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Wow,... Really many Computer Vision people around here...tedjj , aries , octav1an, (and me)... Unfortunately, these days the competition is so tough that applicants with CVPR or ICCV papers are so common. (Not actually common, but far exceed computer vision slots.) Did you guys apply to CMU Robotics? The Robotics Institute has a lot of CV openings (more than 5) compared to other schools (1~3). (ex. it looks like this year CMU CSD offers only two CV admissions) I hope everybody hears a good news. By the way, UW-seattle looks like already complete their list of admitted students. Two guys got phone calls and one guy got email. I guess all of them were from professors, so hopefully, the "official" notification is not yet made. UW-seattle is one of my top choices !!! :-)
aries Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, it's very hard to get into any top CS program now. Btw, leogk, do you have any "insider information" about when the results for RI would be out? I am applying to RI as well.
leogk Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 No, aries. I already left Pittsburgh a year ago, and PhD students don't participate in any admission process. (If so, I would have asked my friends...) I think it will be very soon (maybe next week). In general, accepted students will get phone call or email from faculty members before the package is arrived. (It looks like the department allocates a couple of accepted students to each faculty to let them know.) If you are outside US, it would be an email. Good luck to your application !
aries Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Thanks leogk. Good luck to your applications too.
tedjj Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I didn't apply to CMU - I got tired (and ran out of money;p ) after working on my 16 applications. My top choice is UMich so I've been really nervous this week hoping to receive a decision but no decision came ugg:P I hate weekends:D I applied to Seattle too. I emailed them last week (4 days ago) to update my fall 2008 grades and to send scanned transcript. They said they are nearing the end of application process. I guess the decision for my app was not made then (I don't see a reason why they would waste their time to update the info if I was already rejected). It is possible that they finalized their decisions since that time since some people got accepted already.
tedjj Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 By the way, people post they got a phone call today, meaning at about 6-7am?:PPP
inactive_since_inf Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 MIT met all day today to determine the fate of the applications! Did include EE PhD decisions as well??
zaphod_beeblebrox Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hi, To the guy who posted in the results section about the phone call from Stanford: Can you elaborate further? Was it an interview or just a congratulatory phone call? In what area in CS did you apply?

Stanford University Computer Science, PhD Accepted via Phone on 7 Feb 2009 U 7 Feb 2009 Got a phone from a Professor.. This is it! From the above it seems his/her admission was personally conveyed by a Professor...
michigantrumpet Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 The suspense is killer! If you look at last year's results, a couple of people got e-mails. And then about 5 days later there were 50+ rejections sent. :cry:
tedjj Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I agree! I may hear from 3 schools next week. I'm nervous haha
