npspace Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 So I am starting to think about accepted student open houses. One school recommends waiting to make flight plans for visit days until you have heard from all schools in the same geographic region. But if you wait too long, flight costs are too high. So I would love to know the visit days of the schools I haven't heard back from yet, because I may be able to plan trips. I would be very greatful if anybody knew the date of visit days for Harvard or Columbia. Here are the ones I know so far: MIT Feb 28-March 1 (?), Cornell March 9-11, U of Chicago March 9-11, Brown March 11-12, CMU March 3-5.
Adamah Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 On a related note, did you receive an email from StudentUniverse on behalf of Harvard asking for travel information? They said they inadvertently emailed all applicants, but I'm not sure I believe them.
npspace Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 No?????? I hope they didn't accidentally send it to all accepted students, because that would mean I was rejected (or haven't made a decision yet?)
pearcema Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 npspace, may I ask what program you applied for at CMU? Do you know if the visit day is program specific or is it for the whole CS department? I haven't heard anything one way or the other on my PhD application. I assume not hearing about the visit day implies rejection. I didn't expect to get in, but I can't help holding out a little hope! Also, there is a similar thread here:
npspace Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 I applied for theory but I think the open house isn't program specific. Here's the link http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~csd-openhouse/ Thanks for posting the other thread.
pearcema Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks for the info and congrats on the acceptance!
honomo Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I applied for theory but I think the open house isn't program specific. Here's the link http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~csd-openhouse/ Thanks for posting the other thread. Are you visiting CMU? If so, we might meet. I also applied for theory
John.Galt Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 If someone is not visiting a university on the visiting day, is it good to inform the department that you won't come?
