Computer Science PhD Graduate School Admission Results

To the poster below: I got the admission offer 3 weeks ago and the financial offer arrived about a week ago. It was about 35k.

To the poster below: are you from ComNetS track too? Anybody else have funding information?

To the poster below, yeah I too got admit on 3rd march and no funding yet. The other guy who says 35k, which sub department are you from?

Accepted with full funding :) Was notified late January that my application was about to be circulated to faculty, and was contacted by my prospective supervisor in mid-February for a Skype interview. 1 first-author conference paper from highly respected international conference, 1 patent and 1 defensive publication from co-op terms. 3 years of research, 4 co-op terms; currently finishing MASc at a top Canadian university.

We regret to notify you that we could not bring a favorable decision regarding your application for PhD studies with our department. We had an extremely large pool of applicants, many of whom - just like yourself - are very talented and qualified individuals. However, our resources are limited and the competition was very stiff. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

No funding.

To the poster below, I got an unofficial acceptance from UCSD (signal and image processing) without funding on March 9th and official acceptance on March 24th. I rejected the offer mid last week.

To the poster below, were you contacted by any particular professor or were you in contact with any? Are you into Computer Vision/Image Processing/Statistical Learning?

To the poster below on UCSD: I was not contacted by any professor, but was assigned a professor as a "curriculum adviser" when I got accepted. He said the first year is about finding a good adviser match, and I got the impression that people getting into the PhD program without a MS don't typically come in with a research adviser. On my application I said I was interested in machine learning and statistical signal processing, but did not mention a specific application.

To the poster below on UCSD: No, I got zero guaranteed funding. I was told funding usually starts after year 1, but that there are opportunities to apply for competitive TA positions.

Your application for graduate study in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program majoring in Photonics, at the University of California, San Diego has been carefully reviewed. We regret to inform you that you have not been selected for admission. A number of factors are considered in evaluating each applicant. Please be aware that UCSD receives a very large number of applications and many excellent candidates could not be offered admission. Unfortunately, we are only able to extend offers to a limited number of qualified applicants. Thank you for your interest in the University of California, San Diego and I wish you the best in all your endeavors.

Notice For those who are applying to Top universities.... GRE is main point of consideration for all universities....! I rejected from MIT, CMU, Michigan and UCSD (Was believing strong thesis and CV are main points of acceptance). and i realized they mostly put focus on GRE.... Wish best for those got offer and those who planning to apply.

was very hopeful that I will get in. Disappointed.
