Haven't heard from Carnegie Mellon (CMU) EE PhD

[YokedBrah]

Is anyone else here in the same boat? This was one of my top choices. I wish they would let me know either way before April 15th!

I haven't got any replies yet from CMU ... Still awaiting. Applied for MS in ECE - Fall'14

When did you get to know from CMU? I am still waiting to hear from the university. Applied to PhD and Masters in ECE - Fall'15.

Same here! Looks like there was one person who was accepted yesterday, however. Don't know if it's an early acceptance with fellowship though. In any case, we shouldn't have to wait much longer..

Edit: used "carnegie computer" in results search

I applied to CMU before for Masters. Now, I applied again for PhD, ECE. CMU never changes. They have one of the worst admission processes that I have ever encountered.

 

As far as I can tell, they accept people and send their admission letters, then for the rest, some are accepted in Spring and they send them their admission. Finally, lots of people tend to be a fallback for both Fall and Spring. Now, in the two times that I applied, I got my rejection in May and June, respectively. Check the results page, you will see a plethora of rejects in May.

 

And yes, for me, third time applying to them and third time waiting beyond 1st or April; pretty sure it is a reject .
