Anyone heard from CPES, Virginia Tech?

4.0 GPA, good LOR, ECE undergrad at Canadian University, interviewed with 5 profs, accepted by 3.

Congrats to those accepted, good luck to those waitlisted, and nods to the rest!

8a/0w/1r Advisor says rejection builds character.

We have now completed our graduate admission activity for 2018. Sadly, I must inform you that we are unable to accept you into our program. We appreciate the time and care that you expended in submitting your application, and your patience as we reviewed all submissions. The applications that we received were extremely strong and compelling. But, as you know, we are only able to admit a small number. I wish you continued success in your chosen graduate program, and best wishes as you work to achieve your career goals.

Expected seeing all the red on here today.

Could any one of those who got rejection post the e-mail of rejection that he/she received?

At least they have the courtesy to email us, okay with me though I am taking admission and full funding/fellowship at a top 10 university anyways.

After I emailed the EECS grad admissions office, I was notified of the rejection.

My focus is in Computational Imaging in the DSP group.

For those rejected, have your status been updated on the webpage?

Just received rejection email. I don't care. Fuck em. Wasted money.

Lots of publications (9 mid and high-impact journal papers, >20 conference proceedings) do not help if you're from a small unobtrusive university. Congrats to the admitted ones!
