Casper14 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It turns out that I didn't submit the departmental application for UT-Austin, just the university wide one (why am I so dumb?). I'm kind of paranoid now that I somehow missed applications for other schools, so I just wanted to make sure - Berkeley, Chicago, CMU, Columbia, Cornell, Georgia Tech, Harvard, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Stanford, and Washington-Seattle all had just one application to fill out, right? Berkeley and Washington-Seattle only had a single application, you are correct. They were also the most user-friendly applications in my experience. UT Austin was also very confusing for me, especially how they only send out emails to your LOR-writers once you submit the application! warbrain 1
warbrain Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 baah! UT-Austin application was bizzare for me too. Now I am no longer sure if I really submitted the CS department application. How do I know? There are some 2-3 acknowledgement mails though but none saying that I submitted to CS ..baah baah baah I e-mailed the department about something and they referred me to this website - https://services.cs.utexas.edu/recruit/grad/applicant/ - and then I realized that I had never been there before, and found out there was this departmental application. I also didn't get any confirmation e-mails, if that makes you feel better. I'm so mad at myself, especially since I paid the application fee and for GRE scores too! @cstheory13 Yea I'm a theory student. I haven't hear anything either.
Danbeals Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Does anyone know if Phd acceptances and master acceptances come out around the same time?
hungryturtle Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm getting frustrated to find out that people are getting admission phone calls from UW. With the same pattern with the last year, it seems that UW gives admission phone calls for a couple of days (2/1-2/3) and then sends a bunch of rejection emails soon, like 2/4. I see one person who got a call from UW AI group. Congrats! I can't envy you enough...lol. May I ask who called to deliver the news? Was it a POI?

I am also terrified when I see all the UW admissions... It's my top choice but I haven't heard anything either... Let's hope! Edited February 1, 2013 by Casper14
WishfulThinker Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 yay, it's february, hopefully we'll hear news this month...
vision15 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 I am so afraid of February..rejections coming thick and fast!
cstheory13 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 btw, has anyone mailed institutes which are apparently done with their first round? like UIUC,UCB,UT-Austin? If yes, then please share the any relevant details.
vision15 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 Another week begins with new hope and desperation
ssk2 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Positive thinking dude! I know you're probably trying not to get your hopes up in case you do actually get rejected but there's no harm in taking a neutral/mildly optimistic position. It'll probably help you live a normal life while your 'fate' is decided. Desperation is unproductive, especially when (it looks like) you've already been admitted to two places.
cstheory13 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 @ssk2 congrats for the accept by Cornell!! which area?
ssk2 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 It's for their CS MEng course - so no defined speciality yet.
csRequiresCoffee Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Has anyone here heard from UWashington?
Casper14 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Has anyone here heard from UWashington? I would also like to hear this! I have not heard anything either... Edited February 5, 2013 by Casper14
BlahCollege Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 There have been a few people on the results search that have heard back from UWashington, they all look to be in Machine Learning. I have not heard anything back yet for Computer Architecture....
compiler_guy Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I would also like to hear this! I have not heard anything either... Me too! wondering if they make interviews prior admissions...
cstheory13 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I had applied to GaTech ACO program, seems like they are done with their acceptance
smmmu Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Hrm, I saw that someone posted an acceptance to Harvard's EconCS group a few days ago. That would have been one of my top choices :/ On the off chance that that person is reading this, would you mind sharing which group member contacted you? Just so I can get some idea of whether I might still have a slight chance, or if I'm definitely out. (If you don't want to post here feel free to PM me of course.)
csRequiresCoffee Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 it looks like berkeley is starting to release their cs decisions - has anyone heard from them?
vision15 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 CMU turned into a slaughter house yesterday, or so it seems from the truckload of rejections they handed out Hang in there guys!!!
Mecasickle Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Just got a rejection from CMU Machine Learning Department. Saw it coming though.
AGradStudentHasNoName Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 This is depressing. Uwashington just sent out a few rejections. I'm just waiting on mine because knowing how many have been accepted already I know I must be rejected.

I'm just waiting on mine because knowing how many have been accepted already I know I must be rejected. You never know, you might be sitting on some internal waitlist. In my experience though hat uncertainty (the sliver of hope in the sea of dispair) is so much more frustrating than just being rejected.
AGradStudentHasNoName Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 OhMySocks I see you applied to Brown. Have you heard from them? I see some people have. I went to undergrad there and currently work at a company where 2 of thier professors consult weekly (and are 2 of my letter writers). And I haven't heard. I know many places don't like to take their own, but when applying I was figuring I would get in and basically only applied somewhere if I would rather go there than brown... stupid i guess.

There's a discussion about Brown CS admissions here: I haven't heard, I commented my own situation with them on that thread.
