UC Davis - is this normal??

[pixel pusher]

I still have not heard anything back from UC Davis. I applied for their masters of computer science program.

I emailed the graduate coordinator today, and she just informed me that I will know my results "by the end of June at the latest".

I thought I would know by April 15th if I got in or not. Is not hearing your results till June 30th normal? Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

My profile is not the best, but it is pretty good.

GPA: 3.60/4.00

GRE: 157 / 157 / 4.5

My mediocre test scores I think are more than made up by my great LORs and research/industry experience. So what could be causing such a late decision?

If I was to be given a full time job offer next week, should I just take it? I really want to go to UCD as they have an amazing graphics lab - but I don't know if I can survive another 2 months of waiting.

thoughts?

Did you email the general graduate admissions office, or did you mail the CS department? You should mail and call the CS dept., because they are the ones who would make the preliminary decision. You should apprise them of the facts, and tell them that you need to decide on another offer by so and so date. Since you haven't got rejected either, you might be stuck on some waitlist. The Apil 15 rule holds true for PhD applications, but some Master's programs take longer. I got a couple of offers last week.
