Deguit0 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 To the guys that posted that they got admitted to UCSD, can you please post your profile? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heheman3000 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm new here, can you explain what it means to "post your profile?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatech Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 By profile we meant, your GRE score, any publications, research field, prior school attended, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heheman3000 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 OK: Undergrad Penn 3.91/4.0 dual degree Comp Sci/Finance UCSD applied to Research Field: Systems (no prior publications) GRE 800Q/660V/4.5AW and 850CS Job experience: 2 Internships (Wall Street) Anything else? I don't think the application was particularly strong, since I hadn't done any research as an undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountZero Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Is it considered impolite to enquire if all decisions of a department are out? I'd love to know if they are done with all CS applications. I yearn for a sense of closure. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csApplicant Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 i don't think it's impolite. i think it's annoying as hell to the schools, but you're just a person on the phone and they don't associate you with your application - as in, you're either in or not and their decision is not going to change based upon a phone call. if it's that bad, just call.

Deguit0 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Why are you not applying to stay there for PhD? If you dont mind sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Why are you not applying to stay there for PhD? If you dont mind sharing I actually applied to UT, forgot to add in my signature :oops: However, I don't think the networked systems research at UT is as strong as in other schools I applied to.

Xajen Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Has anyone actually recieved a rejection from UCSD? Or does anyone know if the next batch of acceptances have been sent out yet? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papado Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm still waiting on them. I REALLY hope they havent sent all acceptances out yet, UCSD is one of my top school choices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigantrumpet Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The UCSD CSE visit is March 12-13, just FYI. I assume everyone should get a response before then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belowthree Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The UCSD CSE visit is March 12-13, just FYI. I assume everyone should get a response before then... They might not actually... the round that's went out is the first round of acceptances that are what is currently viewed as top tier. They may take some time with the rest of the apps. UCSD's process is a little odd. I don't know a whole lot about it, but the parts I do know seem like it's a bit tricky. As far as I know, they have not sent out all acceptances yet but the acceptances that have gone out was basically the first list of people that profs said they'd fund from the pool. (Though it's unclear whether all the profs have even bothered to look through and make all their decisions at this point.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me feel a bit better While my application might have not been top tier (particularly GPA-wise, which was still quite good though), I did have reccomendations from an alumni and a former faculty and quite a bit of research in my field of choice (graphics), so I still hold some hope .

heheman3000 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I really should have withdrawn my application, as I feel like I'm taking up one of your spots. But I promised myself I'd talk with the UCSD faculty even though personal and professional factors are strongly pulling me toward my other acceptance...

Give our department a little more credit... people factor in for the idea that not everyone is going to accept and I'd imagine that a lot of the pending acceptances are from profs that haven't really figured out who they want to admit yet. Take your time, figure it out, UCSD waitlists a bunch of people each year and we haven't even gotten to that point. When people are actually officially on a waitlist then you might want to go ahead and begin the process of feeling guilty. No need to do it now, feeling guilty this early is just overachieving.
