Still waiting? Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota, Davis, Rochester, Boston

[waitingandwaiting]

Anyone still waiting from these schools? Any idea on what I should expect? I'm guessing reject from Michigan and probable rejects from Minnesota, Davis, and Rochester.

Did you apply for PhD or MS?

I'm still waiting to hear back from UMich. It has been mentioned a couple of times by people who've asked that they'll be sending out their decisions next week (although I don't see how it can be any later really).

I'm still waiting for PhD application result from Michigan.

[waitingandwaiting]

I've applied to PhD programs. Best of luck to those who are waiting!

I applied to Michigan's MSCS program... Still waiting to hear back, but at this point I've already decided on another school so I guess I'm just waiting to see what happens now

 

honestly, Michigan was so on the ball about recruiting me to apply to their programs (I received more propaganda from them than from any other school), I'm frankly surprised that they're the last ones I'm going to hear back from.

[ssk2]

It'd be worth mentioning to them once they do give decisions out that it's really not in their best interest to leave it so late! I'm planning on doing the same.

If it's any comfort, I'm also waiting to hear back from multiple schools: Michigan, Penn, Cornell, and Brown. It's tough. I did see that on the survey that someone indicated that 1,300+ people applied to Michigan's CSE grad program.

 

I feel like I have no chance at Cornell anymore, though...

Looks like there are some PhD updates from Michigan and Northwestern on the gradcafe results section. I'm still anxiously waiting though. 

[ab2013]

Update on Michigan: They are still reviewing MS CS applications but they are slowly releasing decisions in the next 2 weeks. 

[ssk2]

Really? That's almost too late to consider them seriously. What a waste of an application fee!

Tell me about it. I still have yet to hear back from 4 other schools... 

[Mathúin]

Still waiting on Boston University, anyone hear from them? So many have yet to get back to me, all PhD,

[ssk2]

ab2013 - Have you tried contacting your other schools? Cornell is pretty good at responding to messages. Brown too.

[ab2013]

Will they answer questions on the status of individual applications? 

[ssk2]

Yes - they should. They did so for me.

[ab2013]

Brown hasn't replied yet. Cornell gave me a templated/cut-and-paste reply saying that they would be done by the end of the week.

 

Helpful ... considering the end of the week is tomorrow... 

[ab2013]

Of course they sent me a cut-and-paste response.... Got rejected ... 

[ssk2]

Commiserations dude. Have you heard back from UMich yet? You should have a great chance there no?

[ab2013]

I have no idea. I haven't been admitted yet. Most of my profs have said that I have a very good chance (one said "95% chance" ... another said that he "would be surprised to see Michigan reject me" ... One told me that my situation was dicey, so...

 

I honestly don't see Penn admitting me, and I'm pretty sure I won't go to Brown if they admit me because they're kinda expensive.

[waitingandwaiting]

ab2013, can I ask what your approximate profile is? Michigan seems to be tougher than what I had even expected...

[ab2013]

It's somewhere on the forum. I made a chance post. I go to UMich as an undergrad ... have a 3.65 overall gpa and a 3.4 major gpa. 

[dark_matter]

I also have not heard back from Michigan about the PhD program. I've already accepted at Wisconsin-Madison (with funding), but it's surprising they haven't let me know what's going on. 

[josefchung]

Welp. I guess the Michigan results are out.

[ab2013]

I still haven't gotten results yet. But at this point I've almost given up all hope on Michigan. 

 

As an undergrad, it's almost awkward to step into the computer science building here...
