Computer Science PhD Graduate School Admission Results

It has been almost a month. Has anyone received any updates regarding the waitlist?

I think contacting the professor in advance is more important.

Please decline as soon as possible if you have other dominant offers!

No interview.

Had double masters degree in CS(from Germany+Bangladesh). 1st MS-3.3, 2nd MS-4. No publications btw. Also, 5 years of professional experience. Got rejection today.

Your application for graduate study for the Fall 2025 Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science program in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has been carefully considered by our Graduate Admissions Committee. We regret to inform you that the committee is not recommending you for admission to this graduate program. Please note that the school policy is not to communicate the individual reasons for its decision. We hope that this decision will not discourage you from pursuing your future academic and career goals.

Waitlisted, notified via email. This is my top choice, please decline the offer if you do not plan to attend. Thank you!

No funding!

Had interviews with professors in February, no GRE, and was offered a graduate assistantship that covers tuition + stipend + healthcare.

No mention of funding in the admission acceptance later.
