TTPB: Did your POI told you he will be accepted but you have to wait for the official acceptance, or you do not have any idea about your status?

TTPB: Which track you intended to apply for Phd?

honestly f**k purdue, I applied for a PhD program and they ask me to join their MS Online program??

Ah shit

Guys is there any movement in the waitlist? I was waitlisted on mid March, still no response @+@

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I received the offer on April 14th and I have already accepted this offer from Rice.

TTPB: I too am waiting for a decision from the ECE department. I have reached out several times only to receive the same message that "no decision has been made on my application." This is completely unacceptable for a university as prestigious as CMU. Regardless of the pandemic situation, nearly five months is far too long to without a decision. The April 15th deadline should be respected.

To the post below: Did you get an offer on 14th April? Also, what do you mean by already accepted the offer? You accepted the offer from RICE or from somewhere else?

Got admission without funding. Already declined.

I was on the waitlist before but finally got the offer. Already accepted the offer.

Still haven't heard back. $150 down the drain

Applied to Ph.D. but got accepted for Masters. Already accepted an offer from another top school so nothing to worry about as I wouldn't have gone here anyway.

Senior year undergrad student from UET Lahore, Pakistan! Already accepted an offer from another top school.

Expected since I haven't contacted any of profs.

MASc.

TPB: Thanks!!

Emailed for a follow up and was told all decisions must be made and sent out by May 15th. I applied kind of late (February) so I'm still holding out hope, but I wanted to post this here as info for anyone else still waiting, so you atleast have an idea of a deadline for them.

To future applicants -- if you\'re on the fence about applying to UCLA, my experience was bad enough that I would suggest you... probably shouldn\'t bother. Had an interview (in-person, since I\'m in the area) in early February, and the prof I interviewed with was an hour late. Was supposed to meet the students in the lab, but couldn\'t because they were running late for their *next* commitment. Was told I would hear something towards the end of February and heard nothing. Emailed the grad program, the professor I interviewed with, and another prof I listed in my SoP for any update in the first week of April since I had to make a decision before April 15 (at this point, it was mostly just trying to confirm I was rejected), again to no reply. Got an email yesterday saying \"sorry about the delay, we forwarded your application to the master\'s committee\" and a rejection letter in the portal today (with no email notification to check). imo it\'s disrespectful to not even give applicants a timely rejection so we can at least make a totally informed decision (and I understand the circumstances, but applicants are also caught in shitty situation). UCLA\'s refusal to communicate was unique among all other institutions I interacted with and I believe generally speaks to their borderline malevolent disposition towards grad students in general (esp. in light of their refusal to grant Cost of Living Adjustments to grad students, etc)
