No interviews, "We received over 2400 applications this year and were not able to admit all competitive applicants. The Graduate Admissions Committee evaluated the applications very carefully and had to make difficult decisions, denying admission to many excellent candidates because of the limited number of available slots."

Reeeeeeeeeeejection

Moved to GAO. No words about funding yet.

Last year this time, UMassA results were out.

Unfortunately, I have not heard anything either. Hopefully we will get some information soon.

Has there been any other activity in CS apart from one acceptance on 31st Jan?

Interviewed - was engaging. Fingers crossed.

TTPB who asked the question: I submitted all my applications about 5 days within the deadlines. My "Application Proof" says that I signed on December 14, so that's probably when I submitted. (I applied to RL/Theory, btw, so possibly that helped me a bit by not being as competitive as ML)

AI/ML. Received e-mail to check portal on 05-Feb-2021.

Area: AI/ML. Received e-mail to check portal on 5th Feb 2021.

TTPB: I have also applied for the MSc program and haven't heard anything. 6th Jan was the document upload deadline that changed to 16th Jan and then to 31st Jan for some reason. Not sure what is going on.

I have not heard anything from the program and neither have I found much online regarding the decisions. Their website says admits might be out by January end. Has anyone heard anything?
