Guys, I am rejected by Minnesota, Chicago (this was obvious), and UT. Haven't heard anything from Notre Dame and Penn State even though many seemed to have got their decisions (or interviews). Many are still pending, but since I thought PSU, UT and Notre Dame were kinda safe for me, I am getting really nervous...

Received email to check portal. 1 year undergrad research, 1 year industry experience.

Kind of hopeful still, as I had a really good discussion with a professor there earlier this Fall, but I know they aren't admitting many people so well see.
