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.

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)

Accepted into MEng program

Considering how they're one of the earlier app deadlines (December), to post results a week after the commitment deadline is pretty annoying. I also emailed the department three times throughout the process with different questions and I never got a response either.

Decision letters are available to view and print until the end of the current calendar year. Be sure to print a copy of your letter and keep it in a safe place. Loooooooooooooool. So they expect me to print and keep a rejection letter.................Dear XXXXX, Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you are not being offered admission. UCLA receives many more applications than there are student places available. Each of these applications is carefully reviewed by a departmental faculty committee. In this extremely competitive environment, many talented and promising students are not recommended for admission by these committees. We understand that this decision is disappointing, and again, there are many more applications than there are places available. Inquiries about your application or the decision may be submitted in writing to Electrical & Computer Engineering, Attn: Graduate Admissions Officer, 57-127 Engineering IV, attn: Office of Graduate Student Affairs Box 951594, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1594. Please accept my best wishes for success in all your future endeavors. Sincerely, UCLA Graduate Division Diversity, Inclusion and Admissions

Well, that's a shame. Nothing to do now but get a job, buy a 1969 Mustang and try again next year. Goodluck to everyone else!
