I was sent an email that invited me to the graduate student visit weekend (March 6th). There was no mention of an official offer. I will have to miss this event in favor of Carnegie Mellon's visit weekend (on the same day). I hope this does not affect my final admission decision.

14 part-time months of undergraduate research. 14 full-time months of post-grad research. 6 months of biotech work. One 2nd-author publication, one poster presentation, one 2nd-author in review.

Does anybody know what are the chances of being accepted of the waitlist? Any stats? Anyone accepted and not interested in attending, would very much appreciate your notification of the department!

Around the same time other people were posting their interviews, I got an email from the committee telling me that they wanted to consider me a finalist in their applicant pool but that I hadn’t submitted my GRE scores. I submitted them right away and heard back yesterday. Good luck!

To the poster below who received interview invitation on February 10: were you waitlisted before?

I got accepted for a second time today when everyone else heard back. I assume my previous notification (2/7) was a mistake.

No GRE, No GPA (credit/non-credit system), BFA in Visual Communication Design. Extensive research experience with 1 published article and 1 conference paper, and portfolio with UX projects and case studies. No formal work experience (only internships).

Got an email to check my status!

Emailed the department and they said official letters will be sent by this Friday. I'm still unsure about the status of my application. Fingers crossed for everyone! 1a/1r/6p.

From Iran; had several top journal and conference papers (tkde, infocom); interview with the POI last week; wish you all prosperity and love in life.

Still waiting on funding info from social sciences

For those of whom were accepted, has the School of Social Sxiences contacted you about funding yet?

Re UC Irvine funding: The letters we received were unofficial letters of acceptance. In the unofficial letter we’re told we get full funding for the next 5 years, as well as the fact that we won’t need to TA for the first year. The stipend amount we’ll have to wait to find out in the official acceptance, which we’re told we’ll get within 10 days of the unofficial acceptance.

To posters below accepted into UC Irvine, congrats! Could you share the details of your funding packages? Thanks!
