Spring 2010, purdue university admission decision?

[genious]

hi guys,

i applied to Purdue university for spring 2010 admissions for Masters in Computer Science.

I submitted my application on Sep 19th, 2009 and it's already been almost 20 days and i haven't still herd at-least from the CS department that ,if i am recommended for admission to the Graduate school.The Departmental website says, that the formal decisions from the graduate school will be out after October 15th.

My concern here is, Purdue graduate school can offer admission decisions, only after the department recommends the applicant for admission.

The status of the online application indicates that my application is under review. Well, technically speaking if i had been accepted ,i should have been recommended for admission by the department for the graduate school by this time, since the graduate school takes 2 weeks after the recommendation of the candidate by the department for making formal admission decisions.I came to know by my friends that , Purdue university uses rolling admission process.

I wrote to the department, and no one responds to it. I did call them, and the crazy lady says that " We can't say anything now and all the decisions will be posted on your online application".I don't think she really got the gravity of the situation here.

So is this slowly leading my application to the usual, long wait and then reject process.?

I have been offered admission from 2 other schools for the same program.So guys what should i do now? should i accept the offer of admission from any of the other schools and start my VISA application process, or should i wait until Purdue gives it's decision.?

If you were in my position, what were you doing.?

Guys please give some logical opinions, because i am really confused now....

Thanks in advance..

When do you need to send decisions to the other schools? If you have time, there is no harm in waiting for this last decision, though I understand your concern about the visa.

If you submitted your app on Sep 19, it's still early. It's very possible that the online system won't notify you until the graduate school is notified of your admission; since there is still time until Oct 15, you may not see anything until closer to that date.

I went through something similar when I applied to my master's programs for spring admission. Two of my acceptances came through within a month or so; the third, though, took awhile (and was the one I ended up accepting), and I didn't get it until a few weeks after the others. Like you, I started worrying ("does that mean I didn't get in?!"). But it sounds like the paperwork process is still happening, and some programs are just more efficient than others. It's good you're following up with the school on it, but I wouldn't worry too much--you should see the results soon, I imagine.

Now, if you don't see something soon after Oct 15th, then I would start worrying more.

Same here

I applied for Computer Science- PhD and I'm sick of waiting.

Just got a decision email from Purdue today for Spring '10 EE masters program, I assume others will be sent out soon. Good luck!
