I applied in the second week of April. + To the poster below who got an accept, could you share your profile details? Thanks.

Received emailed that I've been placed in the waiting list. Does anyone know the possibility of my application getting selected?

A decision, at last. GPA is for Masters.

Now only USC have not sent the result to me~ Why do they take so much time to do so? Can't understand at all.

I don't get it. I've been accepted into far better places.

The results will hopefully be emailed out by the end of this week, which is, in 2 more days. Applicants that have been placed on the waitlist will be notified as well.

No more vacancy.

Any one got any response or interview call for from Computer Science Department, KAUST?

3 publications. 2 years of research experience. My application was a bit confusing: my experience is in one area, and my intended area is another one. However, I was expecting a different response. Anyway, I was accepted in a top 15 university. Recommendation to other PhD applicants for the next year: apply where you have connections. If there is faculty that knows you or your recommenders, is the key. At least in my experience. Hope this is useful to someone.

To the poster below. I got accepted on 4/28 and my ad says I need to respond by 5/12. So hold tight and there should still be some spaces I guess.

To the Boston University query below.... When did you apply? Typical turnaround time is 4 weeks as mentioned on the Boston University GRS website. I applied in late April.

Emailed them regarding results, and this is what they replied back. Don't know what to expect anymore. The Admissions Committee is still reviewing applications at this stage and we are unable to provide you with your personal results until all applications have been reviewed. We hope that the decisions will be finalized by the end of next week. We apologize for the delay, and thank you for your patience during this process.

Applied for Fall 2015 instead they offered me Spring 2016 admit. I am going to reject it I have better admits. The decision is too late, pathetic university never apply here.
