Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB : Yes, still eagerly waiting everyday. Been a bit silent and quite after a wave of Admits and Rejects. Hope they release some more admits soon.

Has anyone heard from them? I was in the Visit Weekend earlier this month. Anyone who was in the Visit Weekend and has heard from them or still waiting for the decision?

I have also applied to the MS/Ph.D. program. But I don't think we would get a positive decision now, at least not for the MS/Ph.D. program. There might be some hope for an MS admit. To the poster with the outstanding profile: If you have so many publications, why are you even cribbing about UMass? UMass MS is not a research program. Also, getting an MS from CMU and UMass wouldn't matter much when you apply for jobs. You would know all this if you had done some research of your own.

" just like our god BeanBag (i.e., Vijay R**)" Self promoting holier-than-thou attitude go brrrrr ... Please fu** off

No email, just portal says my application was unsuccessful. Interviewed in February, did horribly, asked me basic ML questions but I have not been using ML for years so I forgot everything, should've reviewed. No pub. I am not too keen on doing research anyway. Going to Yale, take some courses and get my masters degree.

TTPB: MS/PhD applicant here. Looking at the previous year's result dates in GradCafe, we should be getting results for MS/PhD over the course of the week. ATB!

MS/PhD applicant here as well, graduated from a school in London. My portal still says Application Under Review and i'm panicking cause today is the 22nd. I really want to go here but if I cant, i'll just go to George Washington as I have a pending offer there.

Lol. People channelizing all their rejection frustration by ranting over the portal. THIS WOULDN'T MAKE YOU FEEL ANY BETTER. You better work on your profile and make yourself worthy of the portal. No one from the univ told you to continuously check the portal. You better write a script that does it for you just like our god BeanBag (i.e., Vijay R**) from the Yocket group did. Why can't you people just wait for 2 more days when you have waited for 5 months. Rather utilize your time in improving your f*ing computer science knowledge.

TTPB: Applied for just MS. However, still under review. It's been 3 and a half months.

TTPB: I can understand how you might be feeling after getting a rejection. But, with this attitude, calling other students mediocre, you are never going to reach any where great. There might be always some reason for you to not get an admit. Having A* papers do not guarantee MS admits. I have been accepted to CMU and UCB PhD, but rejected by UCSD.

Multiple A* publications and research experience in the industry. I completely understand that UMass rejected me. You wouldn't want the other accepted students to realise how mediocre they actually are. Looking forward to hire UMass students for low capability jobs once I graduate from the top5 school that I'll be attending.

After successful interview I got admission

TTPB: It'll take time for the portal to be updated. The application portal is maintained by the Graduate School. The decisions were sent out by the CS department.

Hey, guys. Guess what? I emailed gradadm@grad.umass.edu and kept graddean@umass.edu (Dean of Graduate Admissions) and dean@cics.umass.edu (CICS Dean) and jmccarthy@provost.umass.edu (Provost) in cc. I have woken up from my sleep with a jolt countless number of times, and checked my portal, like I did this morning. Because these idiots don't post all admits in one go, and neither do they email you as soon as your status is changed. Their SPIRE portal is more of a SHIT portal, made from Oracle tech from the 90s. They have this totally useless "Update Pending" thing that serves no purpose other than making people anxious. They wait till the very last moment to roll out admits, so people still have hope at the last moment, which then gets severed mercilessly. Please email these guys, especially the provost. Let them know your rant. Personally, I am going to tell all the future graduates of my UG institute to stay away from this buffoon of an institute called UMass.

TTPB : Nope, it hasn't changed. Still says "Awaiting Decision"

TTPB : they don't send mails about update pending. Most of the ppl recieved it after the status had changed to update. Those who got rejected and haven't received a mail yet, will soon. And, it was the weekend for God's sake! It is the story of all uni decisions. All decisions are delayed than normal. Also, hope you get into other unis. Just don't start saying stuff to anything just because they rejected you!

TTPB: Well if they send a mail saying there is an update in the portal, you go check. And if the poral takes 48 hours to reflect the goddamn change, you check MULTIPLE times in those 48 hours because you're anxious. Which is f***g torture.

TTPB : what the fuck do you mean by mistreatment. They didn't tell you to keep checking the portal. Update pending means it's an internal process and they need to update it, not you. If you guys keep checking the portal every 5 mins, it is not they who mistreated you! Also, you get a notification email from them a few hours later. So, if you check after you get the mail, you could see the results right when you are supposed. Wtf is with the rant!

3.94 GPA in Mathematics Undergrad from top 10 uni. 170/160/6 for Q/V/A in GRE. Two research placements during undergraduate and no prior internships. No publications. Focussed on causal inference in my SOP and Instructor of DL at NVIDIA. Stoked.
