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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spamhaus Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 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.

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.

Bigcat1993 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 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?

deleteaccount Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 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. there_is_a_so_long_wait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
