person Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hi... Has anyone heard from these chaps. I have applied for a PhD in the photonics/solid state devices track and I'm losing my mind waiting for them.
nalsrayatko Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I am also waiting the application result and have applied the control track. Hope to get a chance to work under supervision of Prof Francesco Bullo.
luci Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 There are 3 rejections and 1 admission from UCSB on the board. I still did not get an answer. Lord please please please Take away my anxiety
aus1983 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I am also waiting for their decision. Its scary not to get a decision till today.
W-General Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Still waiting here....and also for UCSD too...(plus a bunch of other schools) What's up with schools taking an awful long time? At this rate I won't need to "make a decision" at all - all I'd end up having is Michigan LOL
nalsrayatko Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Hi folks, I think that we all will get a rejection from those schools which have not sent any email to us so far. Yesterday, I sent an email to a very well-known professor of UIUC, ECE who is a dear friend of my current advisor concerning the status of the my application to UIUC, ECE PhD. His reply is mainly as follows: In fact, we generally send rejection to the applicants between the end of March and middle of the April. If you have not got any email about your application so far, this means that no one in the department has not funding for you and I regret to inform you that you will get a rejection soon.
random2001 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Seriously, I wouldn't be too worried. Val, the grad coordinator, is completely swamped right now and is still trying to send out acceptances (at least that's what she told me). I went down for the recruitment weekend in February and didn't get my official acceptance till a month later :shock: . Mostly the problem is that they are really being squeezed for people due to the budget crunch in the state. The school I go to right next door is threatening to lay off tenure track faculty, so i can't imagine how the general staff is feeling right now at any school in Cali. I wouldn't get overly hopeful, but there's still a chance!
