kyung Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi, I am going to have a phone interview with a member of their faculty today. He wrote "You are among the top a few applicants we are considering at this point" in his email. I don't know what that sentence exactly means. Does anyone know how many applicants they are interviewing? I read a post here that U of Rochester admits less than 10 students. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but I don't think it's a good idea to post the name here. Thanks and good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedjj Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Are you an international student? They admit about 12 students each year. Phone interviews are usually for top international students. Domestic student have in person interviews during the visitor's weekend which took place about 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyung Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thank you for information, tedjj. I am an international student. My interview was a disaster due to poor quality of phone line. I am wondering what they exactly mean by the words, "top a few student". Do you know about that? How many students are competing for a slot?

tedjj Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I am not sure about international students, but for domestic it was about 15. So I assume ~30 for 10 spots. It may be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowEyes Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Kyung? Have you heard anything from Rochester? I also had an interview, but nothing yet. They are supposed to be notifying the admits this week. Also, @tedjj: have u accepted their offer? Thanks to both of you guys. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyung Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 RainbowEyes: No, I do not have heard from Rochester. My interviewer said that the interview was scheduled from March 14 to March 27, thus the decision would be made after March 27. More worse, he said, officially, Rochester will send their offer in April. http://www.cs.rochester.edu/dept/life/r ... l#applying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowEyes Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The prof who interviewed me explicitly told me that they will try to send admits within this week, but they can also send some more throughout April. Have you got other offers? Or this is your top choice? Good Luck, Dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedjj Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 RainbowEyes: I notified them that I won't be attending. I really liked their program but there were some personal reasons why I decided not to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
