Rejection after waiting for almost 6 months.

applied following an interview with the PI in January, then arose the funding issue. waitlisted for a couple of months, finally got rejected from PhD & offered master's with partial scholarship. sums up the story of this fall admission.

IELTS—8.5. Got accepted in January. Since then, there has been no update regarding assistantships. Reached out to all prospective advisors and the department and applied for TA. Is anyone here with an update on TA?

IELTS-8.5, 1 conference paper. No interview. Applied in December 2024.

Did not receive any financial assistance

They literally put 3 stages to get into their official site to see how they made the rejection :D. First I have done the activation, then get into the official site, no notification nothing. After that I had to find the application decision.

No interview. Grad co told me to secure professors to get admitted. I mailed 2/3 professors but didn't get any reply.

No Interview.

No interview. They mailed initially on 14th April to wait until 30th April. At last, they rejected it. MS CGPA 4/4.

Ignore the status. Has anybody heard from UIC or they just ignoring me? Do you know when they're gonna release the results?

MS from a top robotics program, 3.9 GPA, one paper published (not first author) with more on the way (first author), and great recommendations. There's always next year.

GPA is for M.S., one conference publication and 2 years of research experience in 2 different labs
