I am an international student and I've also applied to CMU MLD & LTI and got no responses.

In fact, I found that my supplementary video for LTI was not even opened. (YouTube has analytics features.)

Looks like I should be prepared for the worst.

Surprisingly, I've received the admission to CMU LTI MS!!

Same here. I'm just worried. I was hoping to get into the PhD program. I'm concerned about the lack of guaranteed funding. Also, if I go to LTI and I want to do my PhD elsewhere, what was already a 6 year process will likely turn into 8 years. It's hard because I'm thankful that I have an option, but it's not the option I was hoping for.

Just LTI. I was hoping to get into the PhD program as well. Waiting for results from other departments.

I believe they were delayed by the fires that had happened earlier. I had the chance to talk to a UCSB prof and he mentioned that their process was delayed, so I believe LA also might have experienced delay because of that. CalTech is also late as compared to last year, so this explanation might have some merit.

you have a point.... i understand UCSB or maybe CalTech that may be closer to the fire/mudslides... but USC is near downtown LA....  what is the hold up???????  arrrghh!!!!

i hope my source is right about Wednesday being the release day

I would look at your area rankings on csrankings.org. It is a more objective ranking than what I could offer

I got my first admit into a PhD program. I really enjoyed speaking with the POI as well, so I'm sure I'd be happy ending up there. Such a relief!

Any other UMass Amherst people?

thanks for the website

USC rank #8 in SE but overall, #13... should i go specifically for SE (which is lower than my 2nd choice UCI) or go for overall (higher than UCI)?

If you are in the US, the departments will probably have you visit them to help your decision. That'll be a good chance to look at the things that matter to you and can't be gauged from their websites, like culture/the city/the prof's working style and so on.

If I don't hear from the universities by the end of this week, I am literally signing up for the insane asylum.

Thank you and no, I didn't. I've only received interview requests from Emory.

Hello, when did Emory send out the interview? What is the interview date?

[Bigcat1993]

I also want to ask when did Emory send out the interview? I haven't received any news from Emory and I'm so nervous!!! @Luptior I applied the same program as yours. Did you receive anything from Emory?

Man... Waiting isn't fun, but now I just feel so... I don't even know how to describe it. I guess, for other schools that had later projected dates, I'm chill about. But some of my schools have blown past their dates from last year, and I have no idea when to expect anything now. I'm hoping I hear soon. We have to RSVP for the LTI open house by next Monday, and as it's not my preferred option, I'd like to know whether it would be worth me visiting.

Looks like there is another USC acceptance posted on the results page :/
