ab2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 In particular, Purdue. I'm having a panic attack because I just logged into the Purdue application and while it says my application is complete, it says: Submission Status: Submitted Submitted Date: 12/15/2012 1:51:00 PM EST Application denied Did I just get rejected? Why would this happen? So quickly?? Is this a mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrysun Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Purdue today does release many rejections today. It is said that Purdue won't send a rejection letter to the applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Nope. They sent it by e-mail around 1:30 AM EST. This stung and was surprising... I was only applying to the Masters program too! Edited January 15, 2013 by ab2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssk2 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) What seems to usually happen is that the status online changes first and you receive an email later that tells you to check the status online. Unfortunately, based on the information you've given, it looks like you have been rejected from Purdue. My commiserations ab2013! This is how I've been notified from the places I've heard back either last year or so far this year. All for Master's courses in CS. Cornell - decision available on ApplyWeb status page but no email notification. I applied for Fall 2013 entry but applied before the Spring 2013 deadline. UPenn - email with link to online page, entitled 'Admissions Decision Notification'. Stanford - email on March 15th (2012) containing the decision, entitled 'Stanford Computer Science Graduate Admission: Details'. This date is similar every year. CMU - SCS - received email on February 13th 2012 containing the decision. CMU - RI -received email on February 21st 2012 containing the decision. UTexas - I didn't receive any notification from them. I contacted the CS admissions department who said that I would receive an email by the end of March if they wish to admit me. (I did not get such an email unfortunately - but my application status showed as incomplete for some bizarre reason.) Hopefully this helps anyone else eagerly awaiting decisions.

codejunkie Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Sorry to hear... Are you sure you submitted your GRE scores and any other supporting documents that were required? This could be the reason for the swift decision. Edited January 19, 2013 by codejunkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes. Those documents were shown in the application status as "received" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssk2 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Surely they'd contact you if your application was incomplete? It seems harsh to reject people on the basis of a missing document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 That was my assumption as well. Question: I see that you're applying to Brown ... Besides graphics, what is Brown strong at in CS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssk2 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sorry ab2013 - I'm not entirely sure. I applied because they have some interesting AI courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saik2890 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi ab2013, I also applied to Purdue for CS and suddenly last week I got a mail saying my application was declined. No reasons were provided and I also thought whethere I had any problem as the decision was too fast. But, it seems I'm not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
