moneke Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Has anyone heard back from UC Santa Barbara? I saw a posting on yuster a week ago from someone saying they got into their computer science program. When I log in to the admission site it still says there's no decision.

hnb Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Sadly I was rejected. After my request for some elucidation I received a response saying that there were 2500 applicants for 100 places. Indeed quite competitive.. Furthermore M.S. is even harder to get in since their main aim is research. So mainly PhD students get selected.. Hope this is a comforting thought for those who got rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjauch Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I just got rejected from Santa Barbara via their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneke Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Sorry to hear about you guys not getting in, and those stats don't look encouraging (thats 4% acceptance -- I didn't expect it to be that competitive). When I log on to the website, the Decision line is still greyed out, which I guess means they haven't made a decision about me yet. I dunno... it's kind of weird. Still crossing my fingers, though...

moneke Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 those stats were for berkeley not ucsb... I thought that sounded like an awful lot of applications for UCSB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I recently applied to PhD programs in philosophy, but my brother is interested in applied to Computer Science PhD programs. Is there a ranking system of the top 50 similar to the Gourmet Report in philosophy? How do you find out what schools are good and what their specialties are? Thanks!

moneke Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 hey dorian: Here's a listing of rankings from US News and World Report along with rankings for three specialties. These rankings should be taken with a grain of salt, of course. It's always a good idea to take a look at what research is being done at different universities, the size of the program, etc. The highest ranked is not always the best fit for everyone.

sdf123 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can anyone post the US News and World Report Rankings for 2008 in Computer Science (Systems)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterlang Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can anyone post the US News and World Report Rankings for 2008 in Computer Science (Systems)? Unfortunately they didn't update any of the computer science rankings. This would have been great to know before I purchased it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneke Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Can anyone post the US News and World Report Rankings for 2008 in Computer Science (Systems)? The 2006 rankings should still give you good information for the general ballpark that school is in. I can't imagine that they would have changed much in two years. Besides the categories are so broad and the methods used for ranking so questionable that you should also spend time reading up on what individual profs are doing at different schools and see if their research interests you. I decided to go to a school that's lower ranked than some that I got accepted to because the department is a really good fit for my particular interests.
