University of Maryland, College Park CS?

[sd24]

Has anyone got an offer of admission for PhD at UMD College Park for fall 2013? I received an admit last week along with financial support. Are you thinking of accepting the offer?

[compiler_guy]

A colleague of mine was admitted last week too. Do you have any specific questions?

[alok_cs]

Have all UMD decisions been made? Should I now anticipate rejection?

[ab2013]

When I called them last week, they said that they were done reviewing applications. Not sure if that includes Masters (me)...

[ameydhar]

That's surprising! I have applied for the PhD program in Computer Science. I called them up yesterday and they said that admits are still being rolled out. Applicants would hear back by the next week.

[kdd]

Same thing here as with ameydhar.

[ab2013]

Well, the guy I spoke to seemed impatient and frustrated. Not sure why...

Any more news on PhD admits by Maryland? Cannot see any other recent updates on the results page.

[ab2013]

Any news on Masters from UMCP?

[leofanxiong]

I‘ve received one Phd offer from UMD on 5th, Feb.

 

[ab2013]

I just saw a rejection for the Masters program posted on the Result Survey just now... So is Maryland releasing decisions today!?!? 

 

I can't find any changes in the application status on the ASF.

leofanxiong, can you let us know what's your GPA, any conf. papers...?

GPA:3.2, two conf. papers (under review)

I see some rejects for Maryland now...(via website). So I logged into my application, where it specifically states that decision wont be told over the phone or email, but by mail.  am a little confused, how did these people get decision via website?!

[ameydhar]

leofanxiong, May I know what is your area of interest and when did you apply? Thanks.

[alok_cs]

More UMD admits from the "Website" now. Still confused.

[ab2013]

Yeah I don't see my decision on the website. I also haven't gotten a letter via e-mail or postal mail from the department yet. Perhaps they're releasing decisions in waves? I thought that a poster on this forum said that they should be releasing decisions this week (meaning the week that just passed by). OTOH when I called the office, they told me that they had finished reviewing applications. 

 

At this point, I'm assuming that they rejected me.

My area is information security and theoretical computer science and I applied just before the deadline.

They told me that they do most things by email...

 

[ab2013]

My decision just got posted. Got an e-mail telling me to check on-line. Ouch ... I'm having a tough season. 

[Phoenix!]

Hello, 

I am still waiting to hear from UMD, I have not yet received an email... 

Does that mean rejection after all? I am really confused, as it is close to mid-March, decisions should have been made by now...

[bricheet]

I applied for a Master's, also haven't heard back yet...

Is Maryland considered a good grad school for Biological Physics?

I'd ask the physics peoples at http://forum.thegradcafe.com/forum/30-physics
