djrg Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Has anyone heard something on the results for UIUC? I saw a couple admits on the results page, however no official rejects so far... I have lost almost all hope with them right now, since they said results are given before the March 15th... and I haven't heard from them... but I would like to know if there are more people still waiting for their result like me....
papado Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I'm waiting for my rejection too. They send some admits way early in January (a friend of mine got his on Jan 28 or something), so I assume they've pretty much wrapped up their process up to now.
vincent Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Reviewing the acceptances reported from last year in the Results Search: There were acceptances to the PhD CS program on March 14th, another in March 15th and finally another on March 31th. Maybe tomorrow or monday is our lucky day I have not lost hope entirely despite receiving many rejections.
djrg Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Maybe tomorrow or monday is our lucky day I like your way of thinking... I'll have to cross my fingers and hope for the best.... Decisions could come anytime....
djrg Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Still nothing and the day is almost coming to an end Guess that we will have to wait until next week Hopes are starting to fade though....
djrg Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 I just saw like 5 or 6 rejections from UIUC in the results page.... however I didn't get any e-mail Are any of those people who posted reading this? Did you just received rejection mail? Or did you asked for your status somehow? I don't know if this is good or bad.... it is surely stressful
black_wizard Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I have not heard a damn thing from them since ages. Assuming it is a rejection. I mailed them two days back, and they categorically stated that you will hear from us not later than Mar 15th. Oh well..

epicfail Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 did anyone else get this from UIUC? Does this mean I'm waitlisted? :roll: Thank you for your interest in the computer science graduate programs at Illinois. Our Admissions Committee is still in the process of reviewing applications and will not have decisions until the first week of April. We apologize for this delay and appreciate your patience. Thank you and have a wonderful week!
vincent Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I've seen that some people already posted it in the results page, but here it goes anyway: "Thank you for your interest in the computer science graduate programs at Illinois. Our Admissions Committee is still in the process of reviewing applications and will not have decisions until the first week of April. We apologize for this delay and appreciate your patience. Thank you and have a wonderful week!" I guess they meant to say "Thank you and have two wonderful weeks!" in the last part of the email
kuntal Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 seems like a lot of people got that email. the number seems too large to indicate wait-list. Still, it feels good not to have been rejected yet
ksp23 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I got the email too.. does this have anything to do with when i submitted my application? I submitted mine on the day of the deadline.. maybe thats what is taking them so long?! just a random guess tho..
black_wizard Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Well I submitted my application 20 days before the deadline. And I got that same email asking me to wait for april's first week. What the heck :evil:
djrg Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 I recieved the exact same email... at least it isn't a reject yet... however it is not much information..... two weeks of "what if" more.. I guess I'll go RUPA[Rejected until proven Accepted, taken from somewhere else in the forum]
black_wizard Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Any insider info on what's happening exactly?
rajmayank Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Got a reply from the ECE dept..."The faculty are currently reviewing the application files online. Hopefully you will receive an email by late March notifying you of a decision." All the best..
nowhereman Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I got the rejection from them. Probably you guys are on the wait-list.
djrg Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 I got the rejection from them. Probably you guys are on the wait-list. Do you mind me asking when did you received the rejection? Was it before or after the "Results will be ready by the first week of April" e-mail?
nowhereman Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Do you mind me asking when did you received the rejection? Was it before or after the "Results will be ready by the first week of April" e-mail? March 13
djrg Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 March 13 ok that was before... I believe that if we were waitlisted they will have let us know... probably they are just using some batch system, and we are those people who haven't being good enough, or bad enough to get a decision just yet...
rajmayank Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 When did you two submit your application? I submitted mine on 11th december, just a few days before deadline....They might be making batches based on the when you had submitted your application (FCFS) ....that may clear a few things why we are still waiting...
djrg Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Well while my submission date was indeed almost late (about Dec 13th), black_wizard posted a few days ago that he submitted almost with 20 days of anticipation. I sincerely don't think that any admissions commitee will use a FCFS batch system... (specially if the program is as respected as UIUC)... I mean, if they used it, they might end with a set of outstanding applications that just were submitted near the deadline. At that point, they might realize that they already filled most of their spaces and will have to let go somehow that could be a better fit for their program. To me, their process would need to be more balanced and fair (and maybe quite more complex) than a FCFS....
MaximKat Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I submitted just couple of days before the deadline and received my admission letter in February. So they definitely do not use FCFS
nowhereman Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I submitted just couple of days before the deadline and received my admission letter in February. So they definitely do not use FCFS I submitted 3 weeks before the deadline, and I got a rejection. So definitely you guys are on wait-list. It's a good news. Congrats!
black_wizard Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I am not too sure if that's good news ( if we are on the waiting list, that is) I don't like this waiting game . Well no other option anyway. What are the research interests of the folks here. I am interested in theory. It would be nice to know what others are aiming at. Regards
