I didn't apply UCLA because of inadequate recommendation letters. One of the recommender refused to contact me at that time, so I had to seek another one, but ddl for UCLA had passed.

So if you applied to any other programs in their SCS, I'd say you still have a shot. Sadly I only applied to CS program. Anyway it's just a lottery. It's very hard to get admission from CMU PhD program without top tier publications and undergraduate university. there_is_a_so_long_wait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCR ranks great in csrankings.org, especially in Systems area. USNews can be very biased and subjective. there_is_a_so_long_wait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStLucas Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 4 hours ago, excelle08 said: I applied to GATech, CMU, WashU, UCSD and WISC, but did not hear back anything. Seems that they all sent out their first round offers yesterday...So it's likely that my hope for these top tier schools is frail. Well, what can you do. We just have to wait and see now. Also, with WashU are you referring to University of Washington or Washington University in St. Louis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStLucas Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I hope we all have a good month ahead of us with lots of offers! (At least one for me will be fine )! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know. But the majority of PhD students in the U.S are international (according to some reports!). So, it doesn't really matter, does it?

chances Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 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.

I applied for the Software Engineering PhD program at CMU. Any hint about the timeline of the decision? The survey doesn't seem to have too many posts about this.
