Computer Science PhD Graduate School Admission Results

4.24/4.30 GPA, 3 co-authored papers, 2 years research experience, supposedly wonderful LoRs. It's MIT though, can't say I'm surprised. Sucks to think about the possibility for 4 months just to get a 1 paragrah email though!

I sent emails to some of the faculty members whose research I was interested in yesterday to know about the status of my application. And then today I received the rejection letter from EECS Chair. I don't understand why they didn't send the rejection email earlier. Sad life :(

Received at 11:34 AM EST. Fairly standard rejection email

Declined. Wait so long, it was just cheap AD (no funding). Not real offer (with funding). Oxford is my fourth choice. I will go UCLA.

A question for the friend who change from PhD in CS to Master in CS. Is it fully funded Master?

TTPB: Did your POI tell you when to expect the official acceptance letter on Quest?

TTPB: Have not heard back either!! I think it is a waitlist at best now. things will change as we push through the last 3 excruciating weeks of this admission cycle. Hopefully, they send their decisions soon. Have you opted in PhD/MS option?

TTPB: Congratulations on your admit. It'd be very informative for all of us here if the people who got accepted would mention their research area as well. If possible, please mention the initials of your POI. Thanks in advance!

GPA conditional offer, no funding. I was given two days to accept or reject.

The wait is driving me crazy!!! It seems like almost all of the acceptances and rejections have been for masters students, too. When will they get to PhD applicants? :(

No GRE. No Interview.

TTPB: Congrats to UPenn Admit below!! do you mind sharing your profile (area of interest) and whether or not you had an interview. Thanks in advance!!

Email to check the portal. The decision letter appeared on applyweb

Still waiting for result but curious how common it is to get in without an interview?

TTPB: Very disappointing to hear that all offers are out. as long as no rejection has been sent out, there is still hope LOL!!!

TTPB: did not hear anything yet!! hopefully we will see some action for the rest of this month.

Has anyone heard back from UPenn PhD program in CIS?

MS in CS w/ Master's Thesis (and BS) from university in Big East conference. 1 journal publication (currently under review). GPA listed is for MS. Had interview with POI not mentioned in SOP last week, at the end of which he told me I would get a formal offer (which was received on 3/9). Marine veteran. First offer, almost certainly will accept.
