Graduate School Admission Results

Now officially 0/7 on apps. Was hopeful after some really great communication with advisers at all 7! Oh well, tough year for everyone. On to the next year of resumé building!

Another zoom chat with POI at 4th April. They had a meeting on Monday. POI reached out to me and they are able to extend an offer to me!

Master's GPA is 3.8. Received email from faculty member about acceptance. So very happy to receive the great news! CP and IR subfields.

Ignore Status. Have anyone heard back from them? I cannot see any acceptances in the forum, only a rejection. If you have received an offer and not planning to attend, kindly decline, since only one week left.

Could anyone who got the admit but not planning to go kindly decline their offer please? I really want to go to this uni (supersuper good match with my interest)

I had an interview after submitting my application. It turns out I am not the one that the advisor was looking for.

Made it off the waitlist! I got a personal phone call from their graduate coordinator offering me the spot! Grad GPA 3.96

0a/2i/6r/0p. This is my second time applying to PhD programs and both times none of the programs I've applied to has made me an offer of admission. I'm planning to find a job outside of academia for the next year and apply a third and final time for the next application cycle.

If you have dominant offers, please reject the one, I really really appreciate it.

I was hoping that good news would come from all the waiting. However, I could not have been more wrong, and it blows; UCSD is my dream school. Moreover, I am a recently separated US Navy veteran who worked in cryptology for close to 4 years. I have no published papers and did not go to a top university; however, I had three strong letters of recommendation, a strong SOP, a solid GPA, immense drive, dedication, and proven work experience, which I hoped would lead to acceptance. But, in the end, it wasn't enough. (Although I am very happy for all those who were accepted and hope all the hard work pays off!) P.S. While looking over the UCSD website and after contacting them about the university's demographics out of pure curiosity, I am unsure if they actually consider and or accept veterans. Additionally, when I asked how many actual veterans (those who served, not family members) attend, they said they do not have the information to give. So, if you're a veteran and find yourself curious about the inclusivity of this university, keep this in mind: you might not be as important of a consideration as others, and apparently, you have to be okay with it.

MASTER GPA 3.9

"Due to the number of applications we have received and the limited number of spots in the PhD program, your application has been placed on a wait list." I have declined the spot.
