Domestic Canadian, 3.90/4.33 GPA BSc Mathematics from Canadian Uni. One first author publication, four working papers on the way, one conference presentation. No funding info yet.

Has anyone in robotics or computer vision area received notification from PI yet?

Answering the question of the Brown poster below. My area is networking and systems.

To the poster below, congrats! What is your area of interest?

1st rejection hurts--and so does posting. Might get rejected at all 6 schools I applied to tbh. Applied to the MCS - Nonthesis. Info sci at a nearby school with a great tech rep. Had 2 SWE internships, an AI patent, 9 MOOCs, good LORs, and good SOP explaining how I found my passion for CS after switching from a business track and my struggles of being first gen linked with my desire to go into CS. sigh* really was hoping my achievements would outweigh my GPA.

Unofficial notice from POI.

MSAII

My status is still under review... after completing one way interview and formal technical training survey. Anyone in the same situation?

To the poster directly below me: why would you post that? "Still got rejected(no notification yet, suppose rejected)." Historically, results have gone out in March/April (with most in April). You're making assumptions, and more importantly, muddying the data on gradcafe. Knock it off.

Unofficial email from POI. Area is NLP. No interview beforehand. 2 papers in review, first author. Master's with a 4.0, with my thesis advisor and reference very well-regarded in the field. Incredibly excited, especially since I had assumed everything was said and done at this point. Anecdotal evidence but: having some contact in advance of the application has led to 3/3 of my acceptances (with UMD I just shot out a personalized email to and received a "looking forward to your application"; with the second I had a long hour-long informal interview over the phone about research interests; with the last I'd worked on the two pubs with the POI). Just some advice I did not receive myself!

To the post below, I applied in the month of October.

No interview. 1 conference pub at a mid-tier conference. POI was tanya berger wolf.

To the poster below, I had a single interview to talk about the program, after which they agreed that would satisfy the conditions for any formal interview. With respect to the funding I am not sure how it worked on the back end, I did not formally apply for any funding, but had discussed it with my PI. I think he arranged for most of it. As there was no formal process on my end, there was no interview for the funding.

Invitation to the Prospective Graduate Student Visit Day. The department will cover the travel costs. No information regarding acceptance to the program let alone funding. Does it mean anything positive?

MSAII Admit!

To the IPAB offer below: May I ask your application timeline? When did you take your interview? Have you interviewed twice (one for admission and one for scholarship)?
