To USC CS Masters posters below: Did you guys apply to the PhD program too or only masters? Any word on funding if you applied before Dec 15?

Got mail with a website link on which decision was available

To the poster below, I have not contacted faculty from any university yet, since most pages indicate that they won't respond to inquiries if and until you have been accepted. I indicated their names in my SOP and plan to contact them very soon.

To the poster below for UCSD, Masters, Fall 2018 Admit (non CS Major), Did you contact ur Professor of Interest via mail? Is it useful to do so?

To the post below that responded to me (non-Cs major), I have not been told about any interview and my application timeline was pretty basic. Submitted my application on 12/18/17 (the final day) and didn't hear from them until acceptance.

To the poster below who got admitted, congrats on admission. Could you let us know when was you interview? And can you give a timeline of your application?

Non-CS major. Undergraduate degree in biology with junior/senior GPA 3.96, then two years of postgraduate math, CS, and physics coursework afterward, where GPA is 3.97. Currently involved in research. No publications. No work experience.

did any one hear back about their admission after they interviewed with POI?

Surprised. Thought I was rejected... But visit days conflict with Princeton's...

Email with official offer. Area is theory.

Is there a Facebook group or something for admitted students?

Anyone else whose official TOEFL scores still showing "Awaiting"?

I am speechless...so stoked :DDDDD

Email from POI for interview

Got a mail stating that I am academically eligible and asked me to submit financial proof for receiving official admit.

Email ended up in my Spam folder

only email from the CSE dep, no official letter from the graduate division.
