Graduate School Admission Results

It's April...what are they playing at? Do they plan to respond to MS applications at all?

@the UMass applicant below: Dude{/tte}...UMass CS doesn't have a MS program at all. They've only got the slightly complicated MS/PhD (fully funded, of course!) variant to offer. This is what I got to know after being accepted having app'ed to a MS-only program! n' yeah, they seem to be pretty touchy about notifying rejects.....some ppl seem to have gotten theirs only thru a call/mail to the CS deptt :)

I called the graduate office @ (413) 545-0722

Still waiting on the official-er e-mail confirmation. Status page on the web says: As of March 27, 2008, your application is complete and the Graduate School is pleased to offer you admission. International Students Services (ISS) will be contacting you regarding your financial guarantee and visa document request. Being the first reported Masters admit for '08...hope the good luck continues with some aid coming my way, too :~)!

Got into the fully funded MS/PhD programme here, with the Grad programme director telling me that even though some folks leave with only the Master's, the university, profs n' the labs are rather oriented towards the PhD. Wonder if I should go?

Admitted with TAship and Tuition, Health, Dental for Three Years
