wangziqi2013 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I could see on the result search page that most acceptances by CMU currently are from LTI and ML. But I applied for MS/PhD of Computer Science, and I am not sure whether the letters are coming out or have already been sent. BTW, it seems that CMU's acceptance pattern this year are different from those of year 2014, 2013 and 2012. In previous years there are bulk acceptance/rejection on the result page, and they usually started from Feb 10. But this year I did not see any bulk rejection. Any ideas? Thanks for your comment! wangziqi2013 1
thissiteispoison Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I applied for a Ph.D in PL and my friend who is at CMU said they only had like two spots available this year. I think last year they had none, so two is probably better, but that might be why you're not seeing bulk acceptances. They really can't accept that many people right now in some programs. Not sure about MS though. Since that's not tied to a POI it's probably not the same.
RP15 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I got accepted to the ECE department just over a week ago
pentaprism Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 My friend's son received the admitance email to CMU CS Ph.D. program (ACO I think) almost 2 weeks ago. The "open house" is March 2-3.

The "open house" is March 2-3. Wow congratulations to your friend! I am just waiting for CMU master result to come out, and apparently it is painful this year..... What I like CMU most is that they offer you the chance to apply for PhD and master in the same application, so that if one applicant is rejected for PhD, then he/she still has the opportunity for a master's degree
S.W.C Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Does that mean that all PhD admissions are sent? I am also waiting for PhD/MS admission from CMU. Is it possible for MS student to receive funding (RAShip) in computer science department of CMU?

Is it possible for MS student to receive funding (RAShip) in computer science department of CMU? Yes, I have seen masters result coming out this morning (East Pacific Time), and I received mine (6/7 rejected, 1 accepted, still happy though) That means the PhD should already be dispatched to those lucky dogs
wangziqi2013 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Well, too many acceptances. I don't know whether to feel happy or feel worried Hope no email will come from CMU saying that it was just a mistake and all things around me is just a lucid dream.........
thissiteispoison Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Was there a checkbox for "please consider me for a masters if I don't get in" or did you have to explicitly apply to both masters and Ph.D? I can't remember what I did, but I've heard nothing, so I guess I'm not being considered for masters. Not like I'd want a masters anyways, but I feel like if it were a checkbox I probably would have checked it because why not.

CMU allows applicants to apply for master and PhD on the same application form, so that's not a big deal to add such checkbox If one is rejected for PhD, then he or she might be considered for master if he/she has added that option to wish list

I also got mine today and I am super exciting. But I thought there should be some attachments( like admission letter) . Do anybody now how to check the validity? Or anybody in the US can make a phone call to them? Those words on the search page worry me.

Those words on the search page worry me. I called them, no response, only voice mail. Then I sent emails. Hope they would see the email tomorrow morning S.W.C 1
smz Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I think I should assume rejection since I heard nothing so far
Robo_Lizard Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 What about Mechanical Engineering in CMU? Anybody got already accept/reject/interview?
BruteForce Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 No replies for CMU PhD (ML track) yet. I suppose I am rejected since open house is around these days. I would rather receive a rejection than hearing nothing.
afrojack4 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Anyone applied for the Computation, Organization and Society PhD?
cartmanpi Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 No... I applied to MS in ECE (with preference for SV) and have heard nothing... I emailed the admissions officer and have heard nothing back....
