compiler_guy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Got an acceptance from Cornell. Still think this some kind of mixup...just cannot believe this. Congrats dude! Happy for you. Just to be sure -- Don't accept their offer right away. Wait to hear from other universities and also about the financial information. If there is a visit day, I strongly recommend you attend it before you make your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you should definitely come to the visit days. I am also going there flying out of Frankfurt. If you want to team up, pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMePlease Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes, you should definitely come to the visit days. I am also going there flying out of Frankfurt. If you want to team up, pm me. I have an exam on march 13th and start an internship in the beginning March. So I don't really know if I can take of during my second week. Think I will contact them and ask for another date. If I change my mind I will message you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8F1F488 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Why are the visit days so important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMePlease Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Why are the visit days so important ? I would like to meet the facutly I work with for the next ~5 years before I enroll that is all. Problem is that Cornells visit days are during the week and I start working fulltime as a thesis student. This is part of my studies so I don't know if I can just leave for 2 days.

PhDerp Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Plus, it's cool to have a paid trip, which a lot of universities do. I almost applied to UCSB for an excuse to visit lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8F1F488 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Oh come on ... For the few days that you'll be there, you actually believe that you'll see *something* which you put you off from enrolling in CMU ... and with that in mind you're willing to take a trip from Germany to NY ?

PhDerp Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) What if there's something that makes him say "abandon ship!" You might not be able to tell you're going to like a school, but there are definitely signs that you're going to HATE it. EDIT: This isn't the only reason to go, but it is a good one! Anyway, you can't begrudge someone for wanting to make the most informed decision possible in times like these.

The last and only time I've been to the US was in 2007. I have never seen Ithaca in my life. That is all. However you are right. Taking such a long trip for a few days will be painful and as long as I don't have any alternative admits I will most likely accept the offer anyways.

wina Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi guys, international student here. I have received an informal acceptance letter from my POI at Brown. Do you receive formal acceptance from the department and how so? Also, I am worried about getting accepted to GaTech so early, since I'd rather accept a position in Europe. But from what I hear, after getting accepted into EPFL you have to wait for an offer from a professor, since they cover your expenses from research funds. Does anyone have experience on EPFL admissions? or ICL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleene Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Has anyone been accepted to ETH Zürich? If so, would you mind sharing when your application was forwarded to the department? Mine was a bit late (Jan 8), because the grad office thought my transcripts were incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanStudent, would you mind saying what GRE scores you sent? I'm thinking on applying this year to some schools, my GRE Quant score is 158, but I'm not sure if I should retake the exam..

Bizzy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Anybody applying to CMU Computer Science Ph.D (not ML, LTI, RI) received a rejection letter yet? Somebody just reported a rejection by e-mail saying that there were more than 660 applicants, but I've not received neither an acceptance nor a rejection. I'm curious as to what is CMU CS's current decision-sending status. That was me that reported 660, it was for RI. I realized after I posted that I hadn't specified the number Just to bring it up again, I am still interested in whether or not people have heard about any ML acceptances this year... Best of luck to all!!! Edited February 14, 2014 by Bizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmaiden Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Lots of hits for CMU ML here: http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=machine+learning+%28CMU%7Ccarnegie*%29 Good luck! That was me that reported 660, it was for RI.

Best of luck to all!!! This might help you gauge the number of PhD CS applicants, here is the information about CMU's MS CS: "You are one of the select few, less than 8% of the more than 1000 applicants, that we are inviting."

SaulGoodman Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Can anyone please tell me if UMass Amherst and UMD PhD admit decisions are all likely to have been sent. I see a large number of admits on results page, was wondering if I should assume a reject. Anyone receive a reject? I am going crazy waiting for the decision of these two places, had very high hopes from here. Any help is highly appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDerp Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I think UMass hasn't sent all their acceptances out. I haven't heard anything yet, and I was contacted by a POI whom I didn't even apply under... She just saw my application and sought me out! I was also told by people in the department my chances are good! So I'm like 70-75% sure there are more acceptances to come.

Email contact. I can ask them Tuesday how the process is going. I love my school, but I already know I'll take USC over any offer they give me, so I don't mind if I'm accidentally abrasive at all. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had applied for MS/PhD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
