Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

Prof. unofficial email told me admitted, said official will be soon.

Definitely not worth your money. Think twice before you apply.

MSc GPA 3.8, 1 1st-author conference paper, 2 on the way. oh well!

TTPB: I am also waiting for USC, TAMU, UCI , UMASS , UC Davis, UCSB very frustrating. Got admits from mediocre universities like NEU and NCSU planning not to go there.

I have not received any mail yet - acceptance,rejection or waitlist. What is really going on here ?!?!

I emailed them about a week ago and they answered this: "Your application is currently at the stage of Thesis supervisor review in progress". No idea what it means!

Security research. 3 top research papers (all primary contributor).

Generic email. Relieved because I don't want to go there :)

with POI, specifically Rina Dechter

GPA 9.5/10, GRE 326, TOEFL 115. Graduating in May. One 6 month internship. Is there anyway freshman undergrads will get admitted to any of these top 30 schools. Looks like 2-4 yr work exp candidates are getting all the Accepts :'-(

Disappointment!

I got in CMU(ECE though). But rejected by UWisconsin. Little bit surprised but it is okay.

Accepted but no funding offered yet.

To the poster below - about the rant on CGPA. Exactly what i was discussing with a friend. In India, some of the IITs do give 9.8-9.9 level cgpas, and in some IITs, you can't score above 9.2-9.3 in a department. At VIT, it was possible to get 9.7-9.8 in a BTech CSE, and in my batch of MS Software Engg, it wasn't possible to score beyond 9.2 tops because the professors were stingy. University of Pune i heard has people who are toppers have only 80% as their maximum. Wisconsin adcom probably filtered through the 2000 applications with a generic GRE>325, GPA>9.5 and arrived at a list of 200-300 people from whom they would have admitted around 30-50 people with full funding and 30-50 with partial funding, and 30-50 with no funding, rejecting everyone else. Since the total number of applicants is 2000, it's not hard to imagine there are a lot of applicants with over 9.5 cgpa. Of course, this is not the only college that does this. They are simply oblivious to how a particular college does grading in India and just looks at CGPA. This is also the reason why some European students have a hard time getting into top US colleges as in some European colleges, it's hard to score above 5 on a scale of 6 which is like 8.3 on a scale of 10, which isn't looked very favorably, while in Europe, that would be a mindblowing score. Anyway - this is just the nature of the admissions process. You'll get a better college!
